The Canadian Brass
A Christmas Experiment

The kids of the Canadian Brass help create a unique Christmas pageant.


A printer-friendly version of this page 53 minutes
Directed by Barbara Willis Sweete
Produced by Rhombus Media
Featuring: The Canadian Brass, Bach Children's Chorus, Georgian Bay Children's Choir, Canadian Children's Dance Theatre, Paul and Isabelle Duschesnay, and Robert Desrosiers



The top brass quintet in the world recruits their own kids to help create a unique Christmas pageant. Together they weave a tapestry of visual elements through 15 segments, each built around a particular Christmas carol.

The Brass are costumed, according to the dictate of the kids, as musical wind-up toys, angels, the Three Kings, a Christmas tree and Santa Claus. What results is a festive and spontaneous "free for all" where the kids run the show and where the Brass playfully indulge in their own experiment.
