Glass City's finest five piece, Baccano, takes charge of the stage with a commanding performance every show. By harnessing their own eclectic roots of progressive rock/soul/funk/and everything in between, and bringing a high energy show, toes will tap and booties will shake. The innovative music of Baccano is a sound that once you've had a taste of you'll never stop coming back for more.
Baccano began developing their sound in summer of 2014 in Toledo, OH. Their collective roots have culminated an amalgamation of genre's within their music. A sound best described as closely related to that of Umphrey's Mcgee, Tauk or Dopapod, Baccano can go from progressive rock to funk on the drop of a dime, all while peppering in a range of styles by drawing influences from King Crimson and other classic artists.
Baccano recently released a new live studio full length album titled "Best Eggs" as well as live studio music videos to capture Baccano's essence in its current state, though, ever-evolving. After an early summer tour, they are back in the writing process while still playing shows in and around Ohio on a consistent basis. Showing no signs of stopping, Baccano is pushing their way into markets outside of Ohio in quick fashion as venues, bars, and fans all take notice of their showstopping performances.
After having performed alonside top-tier regional and national acts such as Desmond Jones, Flexadecibel, Subterranean, Joe Marcinek Band, Conscious Pilot, Zoo Trippin', Glostik Willy, Ekoostik Hookah, Melophobix and more

As an active chamber musician, Mr.Berlinsky’s intention was to emphasize the artistic importance of each member of the group and find the way to incorporate it in the chamber orchestra settings. His goal was to be able to find the way to nurture musical chemistry, which will allow effortless music making and will bring freshness to each performance.
After their first concert, it was evident that International Chamber Soloists will be a great success since this group was able to perform with the freedom of expression and communicate with the audience. Berlinsky was able to play most challenging violin concertos directly communicating with the group without the conductor, creating a magic chamber music atmosphere.
Immediately, there came invitations for future engagements at the concert series and festivals in US, Europe and South America.
Last summer ICS opened the 15th International Music Festival Credomatic in San Jose at the National Theater where they received a critical acclaim. Recently ICS performed for Governor Gala in Campeche, Mexico. That concert was broadcast nationally.
Their performance at the Fontana Chamber Arts Festival in July 2008 brought them a rave review. Later that fall they had a great success at the San Francisco Conservatory, which was part of Michigan State University Gala. Also, they performed at the Collage concert at the Wharton Center in Lansing.
In January 2010, ICS performed at the W.M.P Concert Hall and at the Association of Performing Arts Presenters National Conference in New York City.
ICS was an orchestra in residence at the 2010 Southampton Arts Festival in Long Island, NY.
2011-12 Season includes performances in New York City, Los Angeles, Toronto, Washington DC, Danbury CT, Michigan, Kansas and eight concerts Mid-West tour.
The new CD of Vivaldi and Piazzolla Seasons will be released in the Spring of 2012.

As an active chamber musician, Mr.Berlinsky’s intention was to emphasize the artistic importance of each member of the group and find the way to incorporate it in the chamber orchestra settings. His goal was to be able to find the way to nurture musical chemistry, which will allow effortless music making and will bring freshness to each performance.
After their first concert, it was evident that International Chamber Soloists will be a great success since this group was able to perform with the freedom of expression and communicate with the audience. Berlinsky was able to play most challenging violin concertos directly communicating with the group without the conductor, creating a magic chamber music atmosphere.
Immediately, there came invitations for future engagements at the concert series and festivals in US, Europe and South America.
Last summer ICS opened the 15th International Music Festival Credomatic in San Jose at the National Theater where they received a critical acclaim. Recently ICS performed for Governor Gala in Campeche, Mexico. That concert was broadcast nationally.
Their performance at the Fontana Chamber Arts Festival in July 2008 brought them a rave review. Later that fall they had a great success at the San Francisco Conservatory, which was part of Michigan State University Gala. Also, they performed at the Collage concert at the Wharton Center in Lansing.
In January 2010, ICS performed at the W.M.P Concert Hall and at the Association of Performing Arts Presenters National Conference in New York City.
ICS was an orchestra in residence at the 2010 Southampton Arts Festival in Long Island, NY.
2011-12 Season includes performances in New York City, Los Angeles, Toronto, Washington DC, Danbury CT, Michigan, Kansas and eight concerts Mid-West tour.
The new CD of Vivaldi and Piazzolla Seasons will be released in the Spring of 2012.
