CHRIS BRUBECK, JOHN SALMON ANDTHE FRENCH CONNECTIONIn 2013, Grammy-nominated composer Chris Brubeck was asked by the Orchestre Symphonique de Bretagne to co-write an orchestral piece commemorating the 70th anniversary of D-Day. Chris’s co-composer is the wonderfully talented saxophonist and composer, Guillaume Saint-James, whose music has been described as “Ellingtonian and visual.” The two men had performed together in Rennes, France in 2013 and eagerly went about writing “Brothers in Arts: 70 Years of Liberty,” which featured a jazz combo in front of the orchestra made up of Chris on trombone, Guillaume on saxophones, and his outstanding French musician friends. Brothers premiered in France in June of 2014 as part of that country’s celebrations of the anniversary of D-Day. It went on to be performed in Florida and in

California in November 2014 and in Fayetteville, NC as part of the Fayetteville Symphony’s Memorial Day celebration, May 24, 2015.Chris is excited to be bringing his French friends to Greensboro: Guillaume Saint-James on saxophone, Jerome Seguin on bass and Thierry Arpino on drums. They will be joined by Chris’s long-time friend, John Salmon on piano. Together this combo will be playing some Brubeck classics, as well as some excerpts from Brothers in Arts. TICKETS STARTING AT $25 *Thank you to UNCG for use of the Recital Hall.

EMF FRINGE SERIES AND MUSEP PRESENT:

THE MELDAVIANS“Hailing from the distant planet Teronus, the Meldavians bring an interplanetary aural experience to their shows. Led by piano wizard Dave Fox (“Dr. Dave”), this five-piece ensemble performs surprisingly Earth-friendly music, ranging from hard-driving rock in odd meters to beautiful ballads to quirky, jazzy improvisations. Besides being a master of guitar loops, Melissa Reaves will make the Janis Jopin fans in the audience believe in a second coming. Scott Sawyer takes the music to other worlds with his tight, well-crafted guitar leads, and the solid-rocket boosted rhythm section of Roger Kohrs and Ian Pasquini pull it all together. A Meldavians show is a journey through the space-time continuum.”
