guitarist who rocks the classics like no one you've ever heard. Keeping
true to the original scores of immortal composers Bach, Mozart, and more

ever be the same? CLASSICAL The Pittsburgh Symphony Brass offers a unique blend of virtuosity with brilliant sonority, marked by beautiful tone qualities, impeccable intonation, and polished execution. The ensemble endeavors to stretch the limitations of performance and explore a wide range of musical expression rarely achieved in brass music. "Holiday cheer delivered with virtuoso flair makes A Christmas Concert by the Pittsburgh Symphony Brass delightful...turn the volume up, and extraordinary performances emerge in spectacular sound." - Pittsburgh Tribune Review Grammy Award winner George Vosburgh is a celebrated soloist, acclaimed internationally for his virtuosity on the trumpet. He is a Bavarian Radio International Music Competition prizewinner, and a Platinum Record recipient for his work with the new age group Manheim Steamroller. Vosburgh is the founder of the esteemed Pittsburgh Symphony Brass. Tchaikovsky Medal winner Daniel Pollack "has a flair for the romantics" according to Time Magazine. His Four Winds romantic piano recordings encompass that flair, the tonal beauty, the grand line sweep and power that has brought Pollack universal acclaim. Considered by many to be today's finest piano-duo, Anthony & Joseph Paratore have electrified audiences all over the world, since capturing first prize in the Munich International Competition. "Ensemble playing of the highest order" says the London Times. Pianist John Novacek is a "commanding presence at the keyboard," to quote the L.A. Times. Noted critic Harold Schonberg writes of Novacek's romantic album Last Kiss "by any standards this is superior piano playing and music making, with sonics to match." John is a young star on the rise. Formed in 1883, the Christ Church Cathedral Choir, Indianapolis under the direction of Frederick Burgomaster has achieved an international reputation for excellence in choral music and regularly tours the U.S. and Europe. Their ethereal sound will take the listener to new heights. Neal Berntsen of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and Pittsburgh Symphony Brass is equally at home in any musical setting. Whether performing with such major orchestras as Pittsburgh, Chicago, or Boston; playing chamber music with Pittsburgh Symphony Brass or Asbury Brass of Chicago; working in commercial settings in the studio or backing contemporary artists, Mr. Berntsen is one of today's leading trumpet players.
