Neil Berg’s 101 Years of Broadway
101 Years of Broadway is a wonderful sequel to 100 Years of Broadway - an all new musical revue with more of the greatest songs from the hit musicals of the century featuring a dazzling cast of five Broadway stars accompanied by an all-star New York band. These amazing performers light up the stage with songs from the hit shows in which they starred. Neil Berg presents brilliantly revived arrangements of classics as well as thrilling songs from Broadway’s newest hit shows. 101 Years... features treasures from Irving Berlin to Andrew Lloyd Webber -- including dazzling tributes to Rodgers and Hart, Kander and Ebb, Lerner and Lowe, George Gershwin, Stephen Sondheim, Stephen Schwartz, and Oscar Hammerstein. Neil Berg is the composer/lyricist of the hit off-Broadway musical The Prince and the Pauper, which ran for two years at the Lamb’s Theater in New York City. His newest venture which he conceived, is producing and is the composer/lyricist for is The 12. We are honored to be part of the process of developing this new work with the producers and will be hosting one of the developmental previews here at Stocker on Friday, March 19, 2010. In the meantime, don’t miss 101 Years of Broadway, an unforgettable evening of music that “…is enough to keep Broadway buffs in a state of bliss for weeks to come.” – L.

Canadian Brass
The virtuosi of the Canadian Brass have made the quintet an exciting vehicle for serious concert music. The group sprang from modest and highly experimental roots in Toronto, Ontario, in 1970. Thanks to their pioneer status, the quintet developed a unique character and rapport with audiences that proved so successful that it has been emulated by many other ensembles. The quintet — having celebrated more than 35 seasons — has a long history of recording classical repertoire. The Canadian Brass master the gamut of concert presentations — from formal classical concerts to music served up with lively dialogue and theatrical effects. Their more than 60 recordings to date include works by Purcell, Vivaldi, Pachelbel, Beethoven and Wagner — all in meticulously crafted transcriptions that are setting new musical traditions in brass performance. The "fabulous five" spend most of their time on tour, and have performed all over the world, gaining an international following for their performances, which offer a large variety of musical styles. No matter what the style, the music is central and performed with utmost dedication and excellence. Their latest album is called Swing That Music – A Tribute to Louis Armstrong. www.canbrass.com

Simply Sinatra with Steve Lippia
One of today's most prominent in-demand vocalists, Steve Lippia has quickly established his place among the finest interpreters of standards and traditional pop music in the nation. With his own, unique style, he relives the heyday of Frank Sinatra. Steve's youthful, energetic talent and powerful show creates a perfect blend of "classic" with "today," introducing a new generation to this timeless music and transporting long-time listeners back to the era of "Ol Blue Eyes." With great stage presence, Steve Lippia pulls his audience back in time to a comfort zone rarely seen on concert stages today. His music is delivered in a deeply personal way including standards engraved in the American History of Music: I’ve Got You Under My Skin, The Lady Is A Tramp, That’s Life, My Way; it all comes back to us through Steve’s work. Reminiscent of the young Sinatra, Steve Lippia moves from crisp, popping swing tunes to lush, poignant ballads with equanimity. With a hot, driving band behind him, Steve impeccably interprets the best repertoire of the Big Band era and American Classic Pop, leaving his audience begging for more.
