Eclectic Musician DBR Visits Wortham Tonight

The Society of Performing Arts Houston presents:
Daniel Bernard Roumain

Composer, performer, violinist and band-leader Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR), seamlessly blends funk, rock, hip-hop and classical into a new sonic vision that is “far out and creative in another world.”

DBR and THE MISSION is comprised of nine young musicians from diverse musical backgrounds including an amplified string quartet, percussionist, keyboardist, DJ and a “laptopist.”

Each member is well-versed in classical, jazz, rock and hip-hop performance practices and has the profound ability to perform DBR’s own wide ranges of pieces.

“I’ve been able to combine the music I grew up with – hip-hop, classical music, rock, jazz and soul – and in some ways, to be an ambassador, certainly for what’s going on in Harlem, where I live, but also for what’s going on in contemporary classical music,” said DBR, when asked about his career.

Only 32 years old, DBR has worked with some of the greats – his mentor Philip Glass, jazz singer Cassandra Wilson and actress/activist Susan Sarandon.
