Rarely, if ever, can you experience such an amalgam of musical expression as the musicalact known as Kubecca. Kuba Kawnik with his penchant for esoteric instruments and classically trained jazz background would seem worlds away from Rebecca Lowe's love of Broadway shows combined with her fondness for pop and country music. Yet, two such different talents have united and the result is a delightful experience for audiences.
Silver City concertgoers will have the rare opportunity to see these two perform on Saturday, March 18, at 7:00 p.m. at the WNMU Fine Arts Theater.
Kuba Kawnik is originally from Poland, and he began his musical career at the age of four. He has played with the Warsaw Philharmonic and has appeared in Polish television specials. He has also been a frequent headliner on various cruise lines. Best known for his performance on vibraphone, he has also mastered some unusual and difficult instruments including the theremin, a rare and complex contemporary invention accessible to but a few virtuosos worldwide.
Rebecca Lowe has been known for her state roles in the musicals Evita and Jekyll and Hyde. She was booked right out of college, and as the youngest actress to perform the role of Eva Peron, she received standing ovations and critical acclaim throughout North America and Europe. She, too, has been a headliner for various cruise lines all over the world. Recently, she and her husband Kuba have made a huge splash on land, touring and performing to rave reviews.
On March 18, our audience will be treated to a variety of Broadway tunes, pops, country and classical music. The show is bound to delight and amaze all who are present.
