Westben Festival 2011

Just posted: Capital BrassWorks will be at Westben Festival 2011 on July 16, 2011. We hope to see you there!

Dramatic Brass

We’re gearing up for what we trust will be our best musical offering to date on March 25. We’ve just started work on this latest program entitled Dramatic Brass and we spent most of our 1st 2 rehearsals on a terrific arrangement by Paul Archibald of Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet. We’ve added a 5th trumpet player, 2 more horns, a 2nd tuba player and another percussionist for the piece. The technical demands of this work are staggering, but we’re confident that the results of our efforts will be nothing less than stunning (in a good way, that is)! More on this project later.

Capital BrassWorks YouTube Channel

Good news! Capital BrassWorks has a new YouTube channel and we are starting it off with a recording of Festive Cheer from our Festive Brass 2010 concert. We hope to post new videos from future events.

Check it out, and pass it on!

Festive Brass 2010

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!
