Hogtown Brass - Sept 6
Toronto's Hogtown Brass Quintet plays everything from Classical standards (like Bach) to jazz (like Ella), to Canadian east coast melodies, Latin tunes and original funk, all arranged for brass instruments. Come see a little bit of everything plus trombone!
Amahl Arulanandam, Raphael Weinroth-Browne, Robin Howe and Andrew Ascenzo take the stage by storm each playing everyone's favourite string instrument: the cello. Four of Canada's premiere cellists blur musical genre lines with original compositions, covers of metal tunes and more.
