Following their sold out Delaware debut back in 2014, Canadian Brass returns to perform a program of light classical and modern favorites. Canadian Brass is well known as the ensemble that brought the brass quintet genre to global prominence and established it as a mainstay in the chamber music world. Founded in 1970, the ensemble has recorded 138 albums, received a combined total of 24 Grammy and Juno nominations, and won the German Echo Award for Goldberg Variations. Canadian Brass places a strong emphasis on education, evidenced by the distribution of over a million quintet repertoire books to students worldwide. Their unwavering commitment to nurturing the future of chamber music is evident in their ongoing interaction with students and musicians, fostering a passion for music and learning. The ensemble’s lineup has had many generations of players over the years, anchored by tubaist and founding member Chuck Daellenbach.
“These are the men who put brass music on the map with their unbeatable blend of virtuosity, spontaneity and humor.”
-Washington Post
