Opening Set by Jay Martin
Saturday May 21st, 2011 at Hugh’s Room, International Pianist Robert Chambers released his much anticipated album “Interpretations of Love”. If you missed it, that was because it was SOLD OUT one week before the show. Here’s what some people had to say about the show:
Robert I would just like to restate that the show last night was exceptional.
As a former provincial arts funder I’ve had the opportunity to attend LOTS
of shows and witness the artistry of a diverse range of artists. You are truly
one of the very best…looking forward to your next creative endeavour!
J.P. – Former Provincial Arts Funder
To express the time we had that evening would take a novel, but I’ll
summarize it this way…Great venue! Great food! Great music! Great love!
May God richly bless you both! – K.G.
One of the best shows I’ve been to in a while! Thanks Robert & band for
such a superb experience in musicality and showmanship! May God
continue to shine on you! – A.A.
So glad to hear you are going to have an encore show! The first one was
absolutely awesome! We thoroughly enjoyed the evening, and love to listen
to all your interpretations series… – J.C.
Get your tickets early as this will be an Evening to Experience a Whole New Level of Being Serenaded!!
The lights will dim and then through the overtones, melodic pitch, rhythmic patterns and chordal collage of the Grand Piano, Acoustic Guitar, Bass, Alto sax, Drums and String Section (Violin, Cello, Viola), Love will be musically interpreted.
You will be taken on a new and fresh instrumental journey through #1 hit songs from artist such as: Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder, Bryan Adams, Shania Twain, Whitney Houston and more.
“Anointed!” “Masterful!” “Effortless!” “Talented!” “Gifted!”
These are but a few of the words used to describe Multi-nominated, Producer, Composer and Award Winning MAJA 2007 New Artiste Of The Year, Robert Chambers. He is recognized as one of the premier gospel pianist internationally and attributes his musical success and gifts to God. Without any formal training, which many still find it hard to believe, he has been playing piano by ear since the age of 3 and publicly since the age of 7. When people hear how he masterfully uses all 88 keys of the piano, they conclude that he must be classically trained, at least up to the grade 12 level. His response is a simple reply, “it is a gift”.
Robert is also the Creator of the revolutionary “Any Key Music System™” ; a program that teaches individuals how to “Master The Art Of Playing Piano By Ear”. Whether it’s Gospel, Jazz, R & B, Reggae, Classical, Pop, Country, Latin , you name the style, if he hears it, he can play it; and most importantly for others he can also teach it.
Other Highlights For The Night!
You are in for a treat. The Pre-show will feature an explosive and charismatic face in Comedy; the one and only Jay Martin . He is described by many as Hi-La-Ri-Ous; and that is just an understatement! Toronto Sun columnist, Nicholas Davis, referred to Martin as “one of Canada’s fastest rising black comics”. Martin headlined at Toronto’s premier Comedy club Yuk Yuks in his first six months of stand up. Martin’s comedy is unique, he doesn’t need to rely on swearing or raunchy humour and it is has been well received by audiences wherever he goes. In his first year of comedy, Martin has had the pleasure of performing on stage with well known comics such as Canada’s Russell Peters, Jean Paul, and Marc Trinidad.
THIS WILL BE ANOTHER SOLD OUT EVENT, so book early.
