Canadian Brass

Description

An evening full of encores – Bach, Bizet, and the Beatles meet in concert... It sounds like the beginning of a pun, but it is the secret to the success story of Canadian Brass. Founded in the 1970s, the quintet recruited from top North American soloists stirs up dust even in the most hidden corners of concert halls. With inexhaustible wit and knowledge, founding member and tubist Chuck Daellenbach guides through a program that challenges his colleagues not only with lively jumps across styles and centuries but also all existing – and non-existing – – athletic abilities. Describing such a concert in words – as the musicians themselves admit – is like trying to teach someone to juggle over the phone. Accordingly, journalists must also become creative and try to describe the lively troupe with honorary titles like 'court jesters of chamber music' or 'the Marx Brothers of brass.' Those with more than 50 years of stage experience and over 5,000 concerts to their name have the luxury of choosing highlights. But Daellenbach does recall some, including the award of the ECHO prize for the Canadian Brass version of the Goldberg Variations: 'To be honored by Germany for music from Germany is truly something valuable.' A high praise considering the more than two dozen nominations Canadian Brass has already collected – for the many recordings documenting their brilliant repertoire of original literature, arrangements, and commissioned works. A rich and constantly growing treasure into which the quintet dives again and again. And so, the fabulous five gladly start their concert with the first encore – because who knows if there will be time for it at the end! Program:
