Canadian Brass to perform Christmas concert at CCA Dec. 22
The Collins Center for the Arts at the University of Maine is offering a variety of performances throughout the 2018–19 season.
Canadian Brass will perform a Christmas concert at the CCA at 4 p.m. Dec. 22. Masters of concert presentations, the members of Canadian Brass have developed a uniquely engaging stage presence and rapport with audiences. Each of their concerts show 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.
In its 47th season, the game-changing Canadian Brass has performed in virtually every major concert hall in the world, been seen by hundreds of millions of people on television, sold 2 million of its approximately 100 albums worldwide, and contributed nearly 600 new works and arrangements to the brass quintet repertoire. Renowned for genre-bending versatility and joyous performances, the award-winning group is almost single-handedly responsible for elevating the art of the brass quintet to what it is today. This will be the seventh time the group has performed on the CCA stage.
