Canadian Brass to perform in
finale of Fowler Series
The internationally acclaimed
Canadian Brass will make their only Arkansas appearance in the
season finale of the Fowler Series on Tuesday, April 24, at 7:30
p.m. in Riceland Hall, Fowler Center.
The group has a long history of recording classical
repertoire. They have a special affinity for Baroque music, which
requires the brilliance and musical structure that has become the
Canadian Brass’ trademark. Particularly drawn to the works of J.S.
Bach,
they also perform Purcell, Vivaldi, Gabrieli, Pachelbel, Beethoven
and Wagner — all in meticulously crafted transcriptions, but
selections from Glenn Miller are not unheard of.
Individual tickets
to the Canadian Brass performance are $30 and $20 for adults; $23
and $15 for students and senior citizens; and $10 and $6 for ASU
students.Tickets may be
purchased by calling ext. ASU1 (ext. 2781).
