‘ofthe Canadian Brass is’a
master in his’ own. right
but it is when’ they get
together as a group that
things really happen.
They have been referred
to by some writers as
“the Marx Brothers of
Music”. Critical ac-
colades and enthusiastic
_ audience response for the

Canadian Brass indicate
that it has succeeded in
winning audiences who
come either for the hi-
jinks almost un-
precedented in the realm
of concert music — or for
the unequalled musical
experience, or for both.
