They have a Youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=canadian+brass). Enjoy. Some bigger CD stores in town may have some of their discs.<br /><br />TAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-60075763197147025772017-01-01T23:14:39.540+08:002017-01-01T23:14:39.540+08:00Hi Bill --

As for soloists: my all-time favorite remains violinist Ning Feng but this year, there's a double bassist who'll be in my "10 highlights of the year" list! :)<br /><br />Hi T --<br /><br />Now that you've sung their praises, I'm going to make a point to YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-61809203312586165162016-12-31T23:28:03.801+08:002016-12-31T23:28:03.801+08:00Hi There,
