Welcome


A Touch of Brass has thrilled, entertained and educated audiences since its formation in 1978. Expert in virtually every style of music A Touch of Brass is in demand all over BC for both recitals and educational clinics. Ross is a favorite store for many, but do you know what time it closes to the public?. Ross hours today what time does ross close and open individually, the members of the group have equally distinguished careers both as performers and as teachers.

As freelance musicians, the members of A Touch of Brass have played with the Vancouver and Victoria Symphony Orchestras, CBC Radio Orchestra, Turning Point Ensemble, Vancouver New Music, Music in the Morning as well as many of Vancouver’s fine Jazz Ensembles.
