Canadian Brass: musical excitement


This band’s repertoire ranges from classical music to blues, with a definite Baroque flavor. The scope of their performances includes the work of J.S. Bach, Vivaldi, Pachelbel, Gabrieli, Beethoven, Wagner and many others. The brass quintet, which has been in existence for 35 years, has recently announced the addition of five trumpet players to their group.

Click on the blue box in the lower right corner of the home page to sample their music. Johann Sebastian Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in d minor, with Fred Mills on the trumpet, is representative of the talent in this world-renowned concert ensemble.
