OSU's Allied Arts hosts Canadian Brass
Friday, January 10, 2014
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.
For decades the OSU Allied Arts office has brought top-notch talent to the Oklahoma
State University campus. The Allied Arts office seeks to enrich the lives of students
