Desautels Concert Series -Winnipeg Baroque Brass Choir

The Winnipeg Baroque Brass Choir includes ten of Winnipeg’s top brass players. Co-directed by Andrew Balfour and Richard Gillis, this program will feature the glorious antiphonal music of Venetian master Giovanni Gabrieli, brass transcriptions  of consort music by Elizabethan composers William Byrd and Orlando Gibbons Consort music, and arrangements for brass choir of the music of Johann Sebastien Bach.
This concert celebrates a rich brass tradition, from the Philip Jones Brass Ensemble to the Canadian Brass and beyond, and will also showcases the rich level of wind and brass playing in Winnipeg.
