Chicago Brass

We went to a wonderful concert on Friday night at the Wolf Performance Hall to hear the Chicago Brass, a truly terrific brass quintet. They performed a varied and expansive repertoire, played with great skill and musicality.

We really enjoyed hearing them! They also gave a couple of shout-outs to the quintessential, groundbreaking Canadian Brass.
