Jazz great Dave Brubeck to play with Houston Chamber Choir

Dave Brubeck, still young at the age of 85, will be performing in Houston next month with the Houston Chamber Choir, one of our city's premiere ensembles. A brief description of the show from their website:

Jazz legend Dave Brubeck, his quartet, and the Houston Chamber Choir join forces for a not-to-be-missed concert of his sacred choral works including movements from La fiesta de la Posada and To Hope! A Celebration. The evening wouldn’t be complete, however, without an instrumental set of everyone’s favorite Brubeck hits.

Dave Brubeck is one of the most popular and inventive jazz pianists of all-time. He and his quartet are well-known for works such as "In Your Own Sweet Way" and "Take Five." Brubeck converted to Catholicism in 1980 after composing his commissioned Mass To Hope!, which is the highlight of this performance. The concert will be held at Temple Beth Yeshurun on December 2. Tickets can be purchased through the Society of Performing Arts. Prices range from $25 to $90, but we recommend that you act now because they're sure to go fast.
