Foothills Brass Christmas @ the Old Church Theatre

Foothills Brass Quintet is a group of five versatile musicians from across Canada. Founded in 1981 in Calgary, Foothills Brass presents up to 100 events each year in concert halls, classrooms and cathedrals. Their motto is SERIOUS FUN! Their repertoire ranges from Renaissance to ragtime, Bach to the Beatles, with a healthy dose of jazz, Dixieland, blues and even Country classics! Foothills Brass will take the audience on a journey through our favourite music from the Baroque splendour of Handel to great movie themes, from the Blues to Gershwin and Cole Porter, from Dixieland to the Beatles.
