Dear friends and family,
It's been a very busy and remarkable year and I just wanted to let you know about two amazing shows happening next week.
On Wednesday May 29 at 9:00 at the Lily Pad in Cambridge, I'll be performing a jazz version of the Rite of Spring, transcribed and re-imagined for quintet by guitarist Eric Hoffbauer. Yes...a jazz quintet version of the Rite on it's 100th anniversary! The performance will feature Eric Hofbauer on guitar, Junko Fujiwara on cello, Jerry Sabatini on trumpet, Curt Newton on drumset, and Todd Brunel on clarinet and bass clarinet. Our rehearsals have been filled with excitement and astonishment as we re-invent possibly one of the most exciting and controversial works of the 20th century.
The Meltdown Incentive, a group that fuses theatrics and music will present a show called 'Stuck in a Lenny Bruce Time Warp', exploring the stigma around "colorful" language, on Thursday May 30, 8 pm at the American Repertory Theater's Oberon, 2 Arrow Street, Cambridge. World renowned percussionist Ra-kalam Bob Moses joins the ensemble as special guest for the performance. The Meltdown Incentive is: Delvyn Case on piano, Rob Bethel on cello, Ed Broms percussion and bass, Todd Brunel clarinets and the amazing Sara Bielanski, vocalist.
Please visit my calender page for more information about these events and more.
I hope you can make one or both of these concerts and I look forward to seeing you there!!!
Todd Brunel
