First emerging in 1970, the Canadian Brass went on to establish brass music and instruments as a newly vital force in classical performance. A quintet (longtime members included trumpeters Frederic Mills and Ronald Romm, French horn player David Ohanian, trombonist Eugene Watts, and tuba player <a href="spotify:artist:62MFyiS2Ht54lLado1FM4f">Charles Daellenbach</a>), the Canadian Brass' virtuosic, classically trained style is widely credited for infusing a neglected group of instruments -- hampered by a rather limited repertoire -- with new vitality and relevance; performing everything from <a href="spotify:artist:4NJhFmfw43RLBLjQvxDuRS">Mozart</a> and Bach to Gerswhin and jazz, the group paved the way for an entirely new measure of acceptance for brass ensembles. The first Western chamber ensemble ever to tour the People's Republic of China, they also headlined venues including New York's Carnegie Hall, Orchestra Hall in Chicago, the Academy of Music in Philadelphia, the Ambassador Auditorium in Los Angeles, and the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.; in addition to their many live performances, the quintet also issued myriad recordings. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
