BACKGROUND
The Russian
National Orchestra (RNO), which is celebrating its 20th
Anniversary with events around the world, comes to
Greenwich, CT, to honor Dave Brubeck. Starting in the
1970’s, Mr. Brubeck helped build bridges between the people
of the US and the Soviet Union. He returned to Russia
during the 1990’s for a performance with the RNO, the
country’s first independent orchestra. RNO has also
performed with Dave Brubeck and the Brubeck Brothers
in the US. The principals and ensembles of the RNO have made
numerous appearances with the Brubeck Brothers.
