Canadian Brass to perform in finale of Fowler Series

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).
