Program No. 72 - Canadian Brass

Canadian Brass is probably one of the most well known brass quintets in the world. The group started out in 1970, founded by Charles Daellenbach (tuba player) and Gene Watts (trombone). The quintet has released over a hundred albums and have toured throughout the world since then.

Of the five original players Daellenbach is the only player still playing with the group. During the last 43 years there have been 7 french horn players, 3 trombonists (Watts having only retired from the group in 2010) and 11 different trumpet players performing as part of the quintet.

The current members are Daellenbach on tuba, Caleb Hudson and Chris Coletti on trumpets, Eric Reed on French horn and Achilles Liarmakopolous on trombone.
