Join the "world's leading brass ensemble" (The Washington Post) for a special program of holiday music! The Canadian Brass has captivated audiences for more than 35 years with its unique blend of virtuosity, humor, and genre-blending repertoire. The five members have created their own musical world by transcribing, arranging, and commissioning more than 200 works. Concertgoers have come to love the wide variety of styles that the group performs: Baroque classics, gospel songs, marches, opera medleys, rock tunes, and jazz standards—always illuminated with lively dialogue, keen wit, and theatrical effects.

Program: an eclectic program of Hannukah and Christmas music, plus works by Glen Miller and J.S. Bach
