OSU’s Allied Arts hosts Canadian Brass

Canadian Brass, a legendary ensemble The Washington Post calls “the world’s most famous brass group,” will perform at the Oklahoma State University Seretean Center on Jan. 17 at 8 p.m.

Five renowned brass musicians – each a virtuoso in his own right – form the renowned Canadian Brass.  Led by founding member Chuck Daellenbach, the group’s popularity has spanned more than 40 years and has delighted mass audiences worldwide.  They have a discography of more than 100 albums with more than two million sold and have performed on numerous hit television shows, such as “The Tonight Show.”

“Canadian Brass is an extremely high-caliber group the Stillwater community will enjoy hearing,” said Brandon Mitts, Allied Arts & Special Events coordinator. “There will be a wide variety of genres covered by these musicians so there will be something for everyone.  Another added benefit is the group is extremely personal and it will be a fun performance.”

The varied Canadian Brass repertoire features brass standards as well as a wide-ranging library of original arrangements created especially for them.  The group has developed a uniquely engaging stage presence and rapport with audiences with their hallmark of entertainment, spontaneity, virtuosity and, most of all, fun.

General admission tickets are $15. Tickets are $8 for students and children ages 12 and under. To purchase tickets, call (405) 744-7509. Members of Canadian Brass will also present the OSU Allied Arts Inside Story lecture from 7-7:30 p.m. in room 123 of the Seretean Center.  The lecture is free and open to the public.
