Festive Brass 2010

December 20th, 2010 by cbw

It’s difficult to believe that we’re already past another wonderful Festive Brass concert and that Christmas is a mere 5 days away!

As in years past, this concert was the perfect way to usher-in the Holidays with its Christmas-inspired musical selection and carol sing-along accompanied by exceptional brass musicians. This year, the concert featured guest organist James Calkin, Capital BrassWorks’ own Elizabeth Simpson on the French Horn and the University of Ottawa Trombone Quartet.

Capital BrassWorks and the Centretown Emergency Food Centre wish to thank everyone who attended and especially those who gave to our brothers and sisters in need in our city center. Together, we raised a total of $1001.95 in donations along with two cartons of food staples!

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and stay-tuned for the next concert, Dramatic Brass (March 25, 2011), which will feature the launch of Capital BrassWorks’ latest album, Brass Britannia. You won’t want to miss it!

Capital BrassWorks in the Christmas Spirit!

The CEFC provides a three-day emergency food hamper to Centretown residents in need once per month. The centre is staffed by volunteers directed by the Centretown Churches Social Action Committee.
