Canadian Brass & Banff Arts Centre
In 1974 the Canadian Brass was invited by then-Director David Leighton to establish a brass summer course. They set up a programme that became the model for other seminars and courses around the world. For the next ten years they brought five brass quintets to the mountains for six weeks, where they developed skills not only in the art of brass playing, but performance as “outreach.”
Their impact on the development of Canadian arts as well as brass performance around the world has been commemorated by the artist John Nugent. You see Chuck and his family examining the sculpture 'Canadian Brass', which is prominently displayed on the lawn in front of the Theatre right at the main entrance to the Banff Centre!
