SUMMARY:Mnozil Brass
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Gansch\, trumpet \nRobert Rother\, trumpet \nRoman Rindberger\, trumpet \nLeonhard Paul\, trombone & bass trumpet \nGerhard Fu¨ßl\, trombone \nZoltan Kiss\, trombone \nWilfried Brandstötter\, tuba \nMnozil Brass has established itself as one of the world’s premier brass ensembles. With over 130 performances a year\, the group has sold out houses from the farthest reaches of the European continent to Israel\, China\, Taiwan\, Japan\, Australia\, Canada\, and the United States\, and has captivated audiences with their blend of immense virtuosity and theatrical wit. No wonder their videos have garnered millions of YouTube views and their fans have travelled countless miles to hear them play. \nThe group’s recent returns to North America were hailed as “seriously funny” and “whimsically brazen.” Their shows include Yes! Yes! Yes!\, which blends original compositions with classical favorites\, jazz standards\, and popular hits; Cirque\, where the musicians combat the monkey business of daily life with music and humor\, and transform the stage into a musical flea circus; Gold\, showcasing their greatest hits; and their latest Jubliee\, which celebrates their 30 years together with new works and Mnozil Brass favorites. As always\, the repertoire is presented with the group’s iconic humour and wit in scenes so clever that they would be worthy of Monty Python. \nMnozil Brass take their name from the “Gasthaus Mnozil\,” a restaurant across the street from the Vienna Conservatory\, where\, in 1992\, seven young brass musicians met and began playing at a monthly open-mic. Since then\, the group has embraced repertoire for all ages and stages of life: from folk to classical to jazz to pop; all executed with the same fearlessness\, immense technical skill\, and typical Viennese “schmäh” (almost impossible to find an English translation\, but best rendered as a kind of sarcastic charm!). \nIn their time away from touring\, Mnozil Brass has recorded 8 albums and 6 DVDs. They’ve collaborated on three operetta and opera productions\, and composed and recorded the music for the 2006 film “Freundschaft.” The group has been nominated for the Amadeus Austrian Music Award and won the prestigious Salzburger Stier Cabaret Prize in 2006.

SUMMARY:Lords of the Sound: The Music of Hans Zimmer
DESCRIPTION:The internationally acclaimed Ukrainian symphony orchestra Lords of the Sound is set to make its highly anticipated United States debut in March 2026\, bringing one of its most iconic concert experiences—“The Music of Hans Zimmer” —to select cities across the East Coast and Midwest. \nA Tribute to a Cinematic Maestro: The Music of Hans Zimmer\nWith The Music of Hans Zimmer\, Lords of the Sound pays homage to one of cinema’s greatest living composers.

The orchestra has enchanted audiences across Europe\, most recently completing a 60-show tour in France and a 30-show tour in Germany—each to sold-out venues and standing ovations. \nThe visionary behind this global phenomenon is producer Andrii Novatorov\, whose mission for over a decade has been to unite music and cinema in emotionally resonant\, large-scale productions.

SUMMARY:Keb' Mo'
DESCRIPTION:With five GRAMMYs\, 14 Blues Foundation Awards\, and a groundbreaking career spanning nearly 50 years under his belt\, Keb’ Mo’s got nothing left to prove. Just don’t tell him that. \nBorn and raised in Compton\, Keb’ began his remarkable journey at the age of 21\, when he landed his first major gig playing with Jefferson Airplane violinist Papa John Creach. For the next 20 years\, Keb’ would work primarily behind the scenes\, establishing himself as a respected guitarist\, songwriter\, and arranger with a unique gift for linking the past and present in his evocative playing and singing.  In 1994 he would introduce the world to Keb’ Mo’ with the release of his widely acclaimed self-titled debut. Critics were quick to take note of Keb’s modern\, genre-bending take on old school sounds\, and two years later\, he garnered his first GRAMMY Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album with Just Like You. In the decades to come\, Keb’ would take home four more GRAMMY Awards; top the Billboard Blues Chart seven times; perform everywhere from Carnegie Hall to The White House; collaborate with many including Taj Mahal\, Willie Nelson\, Bonnie Raitt\, The Chicks\, and Lyle Lovett; have compositions recorded and sampled by artists as diverse as B.B. King\, Zac Brown\, and BTS; release signature guitars with both Gibson and Martin; compose music for television series like Mike and Molly\, Memphis Beat\, B Positive\, Leanne\, and Martha Stewart Living; and earn the Americana Music Association’s 2021 award for Lifetime Achievement in Performance. \nIn addition to his extraordinary musical output\, Keb’ also established himself as a captivating onscreen presence over the years\, appearing as himself in Martin Scorcese’s The Blues\, Aaron Sorkin’s The West Wing\, and even the iconic children’s series Sesame Street. He flexed his acting chops in a wide variety of projects\, as well\, portraying Robert Johnson in the 1998 documentary Can’t You Hear The Wind Howl\, Howlin’ Wolf on CMT’s Sun Records\, and the ghostly bluesman Possum in John Sayles’ 2007 film Honeydripper. A fixture on late night TV and award show stages\, Keb’ has also performed on Letterman\, Leno\, Conan\, Colbert\, and Austin City Limits in addition to appearing on nationally televised broadcasts from The Kennedy Center\, The Ryman Auditorium\, and Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Festival. \nA passionate philanthropist and outspoken activist\, Keb’ has helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars in support of social\, environmental\, and racial justice throughout his career. As a celebrity mentor with The Kennedy Center’s Turnaround Arts Program\, which began under the guidance of First Lady Michelle Obama and the President’s Committee for the Arts and Humanities\, Keb’ “adopted” The Johnson School for Excellence in Chicago\, where he teamed up with teachers\, students\, and parents to help develop a thriving arts education program\, and as a longtime ambassador for the Playing For Change Foundation\, he’s supported the non-profit from its early days in its quest to provide free music education and basic needs like food\, water\, medicine\, clothing\, books\, and school supplies to children around the world.
