About the Guest Artist
Canadian Brass
Canadian Brass, founded in 1970, transformed the concert world by blending diverse music with engaging performances. The ensemble distinguished itself with a broad range of music from Bach to jazz and opera, capturing international attention through its unique audience connection. Initially criticized for engaging with audiences, they now lead in making engagement a performance standard.
Over 52 years, they’ve released 138 recordings, earning 24 Grammy and Juno nominations, and won the German Echo Award for Goldberg Variations. Their recent album, Canadiana, features Canadian artists like Joni Mitchell and Drake.
Education remains a key focus, with over a million Canadian Brass repertoire books distributed worldwide. Their extensive impact includes performances at Carnegie Hall, tours in China, and concerts for five prime ministers. As Chuck Daellenbach, tubaist and founder, says, “We did all this so we could play Bach.”
