Brief Bio of Canadian Brass
Masters of concert presentations, Canadian Brass has developed a uniquely engaging stage presence and rapport with audiences. Each of its concerts shows the full range from trademark baroque and Dixieland tunes to new compositions and arrangements created especially for them, from formal classical presentation to music served up with lively dialogue and theatrical effects.
Their repertoire features brass standards as well as a wide-ranging library of more than 600 original arrangements. With a discography of some 130 albums, including several videos and an extensive world-wide touring schedule, Canadian Brass continues to score Billboard chart positions. With four decades under its belts, the ensemble continues to thrill audiences around the world. Canadian Brass is Chuck Daellenbach on tuba, Caleb Hudson and Christopher Coletti on trumpets, Achilles Liarmakopoulos on trombone and Bernhard Scully on horn.
