The Canadian Brass began its fantastic musical journey over 30 years ago. This DVD brings together three live concerts, performed in three different decades. The Brass combines great artistry and great music with great audiences - and it has always done so with humor and disarming charm. It is live performance that distinguishes the Canadian Brass, and it is through live performance that the Brass can be best understood. These three concerts capture the many talents and facets of Canadian Brass.
