Canadian Brass

With an international reputation as one of the most engaging and popular brass ensembles today, Canadian Brass has truly earned the distinction of the world’s most famous brass group. The Spire Series is thrilled to host this thrilling group as they make their long-awaited return to Baltimore.

Masters of concert presentations, Canadian Brass has developed a uniquely engaging stage presence and rapport with audiences. What set Canadian Brass apart from all other performing artists in 1970 was the relentless search for repertoire that was both loved by its performers and embraced by a growing brass audience. Each of their concerts exhibit a full range of musical styles, from trademark Baroque and Dixieland tunes, to Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, Joplin, Gershwin and Ellington to ballet, opera and new compositions and arrangements created especially for them.
