Classical Revolution Brings Mozart to the Bar; First Stop, Gibb's Hundred Brewing Company

For decades in the Classical music world, the three Big Bs were Bach, Beethoven and Berlioz.

Then a guy named von Bulow gave Berlioz the hook in favor of Johannes Brahms.  But today, Classical Revolution Greensboro is re-writing the Big B's book by adding….Brew Pub. Cellist and educator Brian Carter and his chamber music colleagues in Classical Revolution Greensboro are doing their part to bring the music straight to Triad audiences wherever they may be. 

The revolution is coming to Gibb's Hundred Brewing Company in downtown Greensboro Sunday night, January 18^th at 8pm with The Railyard String Quartet: violinists Rebecca Willie & Naiara Sanchez, violist Noah Hock and cellist, our guest guest today Brian Carter. On the musical menu: Mozart, Haydn and Shostakovich, and on the beer menu it'll be Gibb's Guilty Party ESB, Cherchez La Femme Milk Stout, and Blind Man's Holiday Greensboro Pale Ale. The day after Valentine's Day CRG presents "Love Songs" with some of the Triad's finest singers accompanied by strings, and then on March 22^nd it's the renowned Red Clay Saxophone Quartet. All performances are at Gibb's in Greensboro beginning at 8pm . They're free with donations gladly accepted.

Today, Brian shares how he was influenced years ago by groundbreaking cellist Matt Haimovitz.
