Since thier first appereance on the musical scene in the early 1970's, The Canadian Brass has revolutionized brass music and estabilished the brass quintet as a vital force in the musical world today. Over the years, these classically trained, world-class musicians have inaugurated a new "golden age" of brass music with thier unique blend of virtuosity and entertaiment. They have paved the way for other brass groups, but clearly remain in a class by themselves.
Performing everything from Bach and Mozart to Gershwin and Dixieland, The Canadian Brass add appropriate commentary and touches of humor to their concerts. The group's discography of almost two dozen recordings reflect the wide range of their mastery from Renaissance and Baroque works to jazz and contemporary pop music. Much of this diverse recorded material is avaible in the printed editions found in The Canadian Brass Ensemble Series.
