TRUE NORTH BRASS
True North Brass burst on to the Canadian scene in 1997, and has since solidified its reputation as one of Canada's most exciting ensembles. True North's membership includes two outstanding composer/arrangers who create the ensemble's fresh and unique programming. Proudly Canadian in focus and expression, True North Brass has been welcomed not only in Canada but in China and throughout North America. True North Brass has released three critically acclaimed CDs, the latest of which (A True North Christmas) was the most frequently played CD on CBC radio in the 2001 holiday season.

True North Brass were featured guest artists at the International Brass Symposium in Atlanta, Georgia in March 2000, chosen from the elite of the international brass world. They accompanied Prime Minister Chretien's 1998 trade mission to China, performing recitals in Beijing and Wuhan and directing masterclasses at the Beijing Conservatory. The ensemble has also performed masterclasses and recitals at the Boston and New England Conservatories and toured British Columbia, Ontario, Tennessee, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, New Hampshire, Alabama, and Florida. True North Brass was featured at the Ottawa Chamber Music Festival in 1999, 2001, and opened the festival in 2002. This season, they will perform extensively in recitals and with orchestras across Canada and the United States. The members of True North Brass are Yamaha Artists associated with Yamaha Canada.
