BRATTLEBORO — The Brattleboro Music Center's Chamber Music Series continues with a performance by the Ted Rosenthal Trio on Saturday, March 11, at 7:30 p.m., at Centre Congregational Church on Main Street.
The Trio includes Ted Rosenthal at the piano, Thomson Kneeland on bass, and Tim Horner on drums. The performance will feature jazz arrangements of themes from the classical canon (Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Schumann, and more) reimagined by Rosenthal and his trio.
Ted Rosenthal is one of the leading jazz pianists of his generation. He actively tours worldwide with his trio, as a soloist, and has performed with many jazz greats, including Gerry Mulligan, Art Farmer, Phil Woods, Bob Brookmeyer, and James Moody.
Winner of the 1988 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Piano Competition, Rosenthal has released 15 CDs as a leader. Rhapsody in Gershwin (2014), which features his arrangement of “Rhapsody in Blue” for jazz trio, reached #1 in jazz album sales at iTunes and Amazon. Wonderland (2013) was selected as a New York Times holiday pick, and received much critical praise.
