The Venice Symphony’s 50th Anniversary season concludes on April 26-27 with its largest concert ever, The Crown Jewel Finale. Performing with the orchestra will be Sarasota’s Key Chorale and acclaimed vocalists Deanna Breiwick and Dashon Burton. Concertgoers will feel like royalty as the orchestra serenades them with Hans Zimmer’s Main Title from The Crown, William Walton’s Crown Imperial, Ralph Vaughan Williams’ English Folk Song Suite, and the choral masterwork Dona nobis pacem by Vaughan Williams. A native of Seattle, WA, American soprano Breiwick has been hailed by The New York Times for her “sweet sound and floating high notes” and for being a “vocal trapeze artist.” She is a Metropolitan Opera National Council Grand Finalist, a Grand Prize Winner of the Sullivan Foundation Vocal Competition, and a First Prize Winner of the Gerda Lissner Foundation International Vocal Competition. She also holds awards from the George London Foundation, the Giulio Gari Foundation, the Licia Albanese-Puccini Foundation, and the Richard F. Gold Career Grant.Hailed by the Boston Globe as an artist “alight with the spirit of the music,” three-time Grammy Award winning bass-baritone Burton appears regularly throughout the US and Europe. As a multiple award-winning singer, he won his second Grammy Award in March 2021 for Best Classical Solo Vocal Album with his performance featured in Dame Ethyl Smyth’s masterwork The Prison with The Experiential Orchestra. As an original member of the groundbreaking vocal ensemble Roomful of Teeth, he won his first Grammy Award in 2013.
