Christmas with the Rothstein Ensemble

Description

At 7:00 pm on Saturday, December 2, the Rothstein Ensemble opens the Christmas season on stage at the Soper Reese Theatre with a unique concert encompassing the silly, sentimental, sacred and serious. All ages are welcome. Don your ugliest Christmas sweater and join the Rothstein Ensemble for an intimate evening of stories and songs, many personal and original. The group will play original compositions and jazzy pop songs. Leaders of the group, Matt and Jill Rothstein, are accomplished musicians, arrangers, and composers. Both were raised in Lake County and the pair have been leading musical ensembles for nearly a decade. Matt was recognized by DownBeat Magazine and the Grammy Foundation as a prodigious talent while in high school. Jill began composing music at the tender age of eight and was the 2007 award winner for music theory and composition at Azusa Pacific University. Currently Matt and Jill are Music Directors at a large church in the Sacramento region. Joining Matt and Jill on stage are Lake County’s own master musician, Tom Aiken on piano and organ, as well as Dan Meyer, vocals; Raj Sodhi, bass; Jacob Turner, guitar and tuba; and Randy Wimer, percussion.
