Chamber Music Concerts (CMC) presents the Canadian Brass on Sunday, May 17 at 3pm at the Southern Oregon University Music Recital Hall, 450 S Mountain Ave, Ashland, OR. Purchase tickets at ChamberMusicConcerts.org or call 541-552-6154.
With an international reputation as one of the most popular brass ensembles today, Canadian Brass has truly earned the distinction of “the world’s most famous brass group.” Canadian has appeared on The Tonight Show, Today, Entertainment Tonight, and recently to more than 1/2 a billion viewers for Chinese New Year on China’s most popular station. They have appeared as guest artists on Evening at Pops with John Williams and the Boston Pops, Beverly Sills’ Music Around the World, numerous PBS specials, and a celebrated appearance on Sesame Street.
Masters of concert presentations since 1970, Canadian Brass has developed a uniquely engaging stage presence and rapport with audiences. Each of their concerts show a full range of repertoire, from their trademark Baroque and Dixieland tunes to new compositions and arrangements created especially for them — formal classical presentations served up with lively dialogue and theatrical effects. Whatever the style, the music is central and performed with utmost dedication, skill and excellence.
Concert tickets are $49/59, with discounts available for full-time students and Oregon Trail Card holders. Purchase online at ChamberMusicConcerts.org or by calling 541-552-6154. Don’t miss the pre-concert lecture at 2pm. After the concert for CMC, the Canadian Brass will work with young brass players in a masterclass for high school students. This outreach program is free and open to the public.
