Canadian Brass — For nearly 40 years, the members of Canadian Brass have impressed audiences throughout the world with their vibrant interpretations of classical and sacred works, jazz and pop standards, new arrangements and commissions, as well as Broadway, movie, and holiday fare. Described as “the men who put brass music on the map” by The Washington Post, Canadian Brass has released more than 60 recordings, including two Grammy nominated CDs.

American Bluegrass Masters — For the first time in more than 50 years, legendary mandolin player Bobby Osborne and banjo player J.D. Crowe join talents to present a concert of distinctive bluegrass music. Grammy-winning Crowe is considered one of American’s most influential banjo players. Mandolin player Osborne is a long-time star of the Grand Ole Opry, making his first appearance in 1964. Osborne was the first to record “Rocky Top,” a tune that would become the Tennessee state song and the most recorded song in bluegrass history.
