"The enthralling sound of a brass choir ... programs that feature virtuosic musicianship, masterful interpretations and flashes of humour ... repertoire that encompasses Bach to blues - all these ingredients make the Canadian Brass the world's leading brass ensemble ...
These are the men who put brass music on the map: with their unbeatable blend of virtuosity, spontaneity and humour, they brighten the rosters of concert halls, international festivals and orchestra series throughout the world. Their numerous recordings, frequent television appearances and tireless efforts in the realm of music education have resulted in vast new audiences for the Art of the Canadian Brass. "Washington Post
