River Run Centre presents the Canadian Brass with a festive Christmas program on Dec. 19 at 8pm as part of its RBC Classical Arts Series.
While appearing in suits and ties, cradling their shiny, gold-plated Conn-Selmer horns, the five musicians are sporting white canvas sneakers. It’s an image that captures the attitude of this ensemble, which has been in existence for over 40 years: they’re top-notch professional musicians, but they also know how to have fun doing what they love.
They will apply their infectious humour, extraordinary talent and an unabashed love of all musical styles, to a holiday program that includes works from Bach to Glenn Miller, and all points in between. “These are the men who put brass music on the map,” declares The Washington Post. “With their unbeatable blend of virtuosity, spontaneity and humour, they brighten the rosters of concert halls, international festivals and orchestra series throughout the world.
Their numerous recordings, frequent television appearances and tireless efforts in the realm of music education have resulted in vast new audiences for the art of the Canadian Brass.”
Tickets start at $44 for adults or $42 for students and seniors. $5.00 eyeGO tickets are available for high school students with valid ID. $20 uGO tickets are available to university and college students with valid ID.
Tickets are available at the River Run Box Office, or online at riverrun.ca.
