Put on your holiday socks! An Orange County favorite, Canadian Brass return to the Irvine Barclay Theatre for a concert of seasonal favorites, holiday classics, and more. Make this concert part of your holiday tradition.

If you said the Canadian Brass represented the “gold standard” among brass quintets, you’d be right on the mark. Aside from performing on 24K gold-plated instruments, the group, led by its avuncular tuba master (and sole original member) Chuck Daellenbach, essentially put the idea of the brass quintet on the map.
