A Canadian Brass Christmas at Hylton Performing Arts Center

Welcome back this Hylton Center audience favorite! Canadian Brass returns to usher in the
holiday season while charming and delighting audiences with their winning combination of
exuberant sound, good-natured humor, and engaging showmanship. Clad in their iconic white
running shoes, the brass quintet performs a varied repertoire that includes their original
arrangements and signature takes on classical standards, pop favorites, and traditional holiday
music. Since forming in 1970, they have built a legion of fans by bringing their impeccable
musicality and irreverent wit to audiences worldwide, recording over 130 albums, and
contributing nearly 600 new works and arrangements to the brass quintet repertoire. Led by
visionary founder and tuba legend Chuck Daellenbach, the ensemble comprises Caleb Hudson
and Fabio Brum (trumpets), Achilles Liarmakopoulos (trombone), and Jeff Nelsen (horn). “If
you said the Canadian Brass represented the ‘gold standard’ among brass quintets, you’d be right
on the mark” (NPR).
