Making Spirits Bright

“With their unbeatable blend of virtuosity, spontaneity and humor” (Washington Post), Canadian Brass kicks off the holiday season with good humor and fun-loving brass favorites to delight everyone in the family. Experience one of the world’s most famous brass quintets in a genre-bending and infectiously positive performance that includes original arrangements and signature takes on beloved holiday classics such as “I’ll Be Home for Christmas,” “Christmas Time is Here,” “Silver Bells,” “Jingle Bell Rock,” and songs of Hanukkah. These joyous musicians have performed all over the world, recorded more than 130 albums, and have created their own musical world by transcribing, arranging, and commissioning more than 600 works. “Nothing proclaims celebration and festivity like the sound of brass instruments. And if those instruments are played by Canadian Brass, there is even greater cause for celebration” (Toronto Star).

This performance is appropriate for all ages.
