Colorado Music Festival presents Canadian Brass

CMF's 2026 Robert Mann Chamber Music Series opens with “one of the most popular brass ensembles in the world” (Washington Post), the Juno Award-winning quintet Canadian Brass. With a discography of over 130 albums and an extensive worldwide touring schedule, Canadian Brass is a pioneer in bringing brass music to audiences through their trademark humor, charismatic stage presence, and sparkling musicianship. The evening's performance features selections from Bizet's Carmen, plus works by Mozart, Bach, Brahms, Barber, Piazzolla, The Beatles and Coldplay.
With an international reputation as one of the most popular brass ensembles today, Canadian Brass has truly earned the distinction of the world’s most famous brass group. Masters of concert presentations, Canadian Brass has developed a uniquely engaging stage presence and rapport with audiences. Their concerts exhibit a full range of musical styles, from trademark Baroque and Dixieland tunes, to Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, Joplin, Gershwin and Ellington to ballet, opera and new compositions and arrangements created especially for them.
