Canadian Brass meets Athens State Orchestra

With the kind support of the Embassy of Canada and Air Canada

The concerts of the famed Canadian Brass quintet, which has been at the very summit of the international music scene for four decades now, are one of the key musical events of the year! Renowned for the vast breadth of their repertoire and their ability to combine uncompromising artistic quality with commercial appeal, the ensemble will treat our audience to a multifaceted programme which highlights the burnished sheen and expressiveness of the brass sound in all its glory.
