Canadian Brass

Rice University

The success story of one of the world's most renowned brass ensembles, Canadian Brass, has been going strong for over 50 years. Collaborative creativity, individually accomplished musical talent, and the desire to explore all the possibilities of a pure brass ensemble have characterized this ensemble since its founding in 1970. The musicians amaze with the unexpected facets of their instruments, their humorous entertainment, and they don't take themselves or their music too seriously. With their varied program, ranging from traditional pieces with an Iberian flavor to well-known melodies from Georges Bizet's opera "Carmen," they transport audiences to our focus country, Spain.
