“We’ve created ballets, played Carnegie Hall, toured China during its 1977 reopening, and performed in front of five prime ministers, but most importantly performed for more than ten million friends, family and audiences worldwide so far. We did all this so we could play Bach”
“These are the men who put brass music on the map with their unbeatable blend of virtuosity, spontaneity and humor.

CANADIAN BRASS
Represented by Opus 3 Artists
This group is an important pioneer in bringing the sound and excitement of brass music to international audiences. The five virtuosi bring talent, wit and charm to their dynamic and family-friendly orchestral, choral, double quintet or stand-alone programs. Education is at the forefront of their 50+ year history!
The Brass has averaged two and a half full length recordings per year of its 52 years of existence for a total of 138 recordings. They have received a combined total of 24 Grammy and Juno nominations and won the German Echo Award for Goldberg Variations. A North American group taking Bach back to Europe and winning approval at the highest level was a crowning achievement! Most recently during the Covid era the Brass created another award-winning recording, Canadiana. The album features unique arrangements of many Canadian superstars including Joni Mitchell, k.d. lang, Bruce Cockburn, Drake and DeadMau5.
