Tickets available at
Concert with Upper Canada Brass
St Mary’s Anglican Church, 10030 Yonge Street, Richmond Hill
Welcome to UCB’s first concert of our 2022-2023 series exploring Canadian music and more!
The programme has a little something for everyone – from Canadian composers and from abroad – from folk songs to film! Themed “Fall, Fellowship, Favourites”, the repertoire includes a rousing march by the Band’s own Gerry Murphy titled Alumnus – a reference to musicians we know from previous bands and current bands. Canadian conductor-composer Godfrey Ridout’s sunny and affirmative Fall Fair is appropriate for the season. For those who love film music, what better than Canadian Howard Shore’s Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings! One of the Band’s favourites is Edward Gregson’s Variations on Laudate Dominum – which was commissioned for the 1976 British Tour of the London (Ontario) Citadel Band, whose conductor was the composer’s brother, Bram Gregson. And for those who like folk tunes, the exquisite Shenandoah has been expertly crafted for brass band by Parry Sound’s Len Ballantine titled Mid All the Traffic. And more!
Join us this fall in musical fellowship and make some of our favourites yours!

1 April 2023 – STRANGER MUSIC – 7:30 PM
Concert with Upper Canada Brass
St Mary’s Anglican Church, 10030 Yonge Street, Richmond Hill
This is no hoax! Join us as we explore the “strange-ness” of music, places, and circumstances!
What was the strange battle plan as depicted by Canadian Kevin Hayward’s Joshua Fit the Battle? What strange-ness did Dvorak experience in New York that inspired his New World Symphony? Or how did Canadian John Weinzweig’s Round Dance and it’s strange modernism affect the ears of CBC listeners? We’re also taking a leaf from the 1993 Stranger Music publication performing some of Canadian Leonard Cohen’s best songs. Plus more great music for Brass Bands!
Join us, and we won’t be strangers anymore!
