University of the PACIFIC

The 2011 Brubeck Festival will be held on the campus of University of the Pacific from March 31 through April 3, 2011. The theme for the festival will be Creativity: Working Outside the Box!

One of the hallmarks of Dave Brubeck's life and career has been his creativity. He has not only created new music for over six decades, he has moved musical art forward, never simply replicating the past, but always challenging himself, his fellow musicians, and his audiences to go forward and explore new territory. He has broken the mold many times; he has always worked outside the box of tradition. The 2011 Brubeck Festival will examine Dave Brubeck's creative accomplishments and will present contemporary musicians, composers, and creative artists who continue to push the envelope today.
