Since their first appearance on the music scene in 1970, The Canadian Brass (Freder- ick Mills and Ronald Romm, trumpets; David Ohanian, horn, Eugene Watts, trom- bone; and Charles Daellenbach, tuba) has brought classical music to vast new audi- ences worldwide. The first chamber ensemble ever to tour the People's Republic of China, they perform more than 130 concerts each year in North America alone as fea- tured guest artists with leading U.S. orchestras and at major summer festivals. High- lights of The Canadian Brass's 1995-96 season include appearances with orchestra, recital tours of the U.S. and Europe, and a holiday concert with members of the New York Philharmonic brass at Avery Fisher Hall. Their television credits include The Tonight Shoiv with Johnny Carson, the Today Show, Entertainment Tonight, Camera Three, Sesame Street, and CBS This Morning. Collaborating with Philips Classics, they became the first classical artists to record a television and laser disc project on high definition tape (HDTV) at Thames TV in England as a production for Rhombus. The film, entitled Home Movies, was nominated for a Grammy Award and has aired frequently on Bravo cable network and on PBS. Also on PBS, they have appeared on Evening at Pops with John Williams, on Beverly Sills' Music Around the World, Canadian Brass at Wolf Trap, the Victor Borge 80th Birthday Special, and The Canadian Brass Live. The Canadian Brass's latest release on the RCA/BMG Classics label is Brassbustersl, a collaboration with the brass sections of the New York Philharmonic and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Their latest release on the Philips Classics label is called Brass on Broadway, which follows Wagnerfor Brass and Red Hotfazz: The Dixieland Album. In October 1995 RCA/BMG plans a simultaneous release of two new discs: a collection of English Renaissance music for brass, and Swingtime, an album ofjazz and big band favorites. The members of The Canadian Brass perform on hand-crafted instruments of their own design, marketed by their company, Canadian Brass Musical Instruments. They have constantly sought to expand the brass repertoire, both through transcriptions of music from the sixteenth cen- tury through today, and commissions of new works. They also conduct workshops and master classes with young musicians as often as their schedule will allow. Star of Indiana burst onto the competitive drum and bugle corps scene eleven years ago, capturing an unprecedented tenth-place finish at the Drum Corps International (DCI) World Championship. The group went on to claim the 1991 DCI World Cham- pionship title; in 1993 the corps' brass and percussion sections were judged the best in the world. After participating as finalists in the DCI World Championships each year from 1985 through 1993, and winning numerous other honors, Star of Indiana joined The Canadian Brass in 1994 for a joint program entitled "An Evening of Brass The- ater." This fully-staged show, combining the symphonic, jazz, and marching band litera- ture with specialized movement and the technology of modern theater, was presented to great critical acclaim at numerous arenas across the country and in a special concert version at New York's Mostly Mozart Festival. This summer, the two ensembles have again teamed up to present "Brass Theater," both in staged versions at various arenas and in concert versions at most of the major U.S. summer festivals.

With appear- ances on national and local television programs, and at fairs, festivals, shopping malls, con- ventions, fundraisers, colleges, and businesses throughout New England, Hurdy Gurdy, monkey & me have created thousands of special memories for children and adults alike. Timothy Wenk presents educational magic shows about recycling in schools across Amer- ica, and his "Metempirical Magic" mail order company offers new magical creations and techniques to other magicians. In 1991 Mr. Wenk won the Inventor's Award at the world- wide "FISM" competition in Switzerland. His invention called "Misled" has been featured by David Copperfield in his live tour and international television special. Since 1975 Randy Judkins has been on the cutting edge of the New Vaudeville style of entertainment, giving more than 175 annual performances, seminars, and workshops at conventions, retreats, and festivals, and in educational systems in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. He has taught at the University of Southern Maine, Ringling Brothers Barnum 8c Bailey's Clown College and, most recently, at the Juilliard School's drama division. Tom Murphy has taught in Denmark, France, and the U.S., including three years at Ring ling Brothers' Clown College. Featured in a Showtime special from "The Just for Laughs Festival" in Montreal, he was named #1 Clown at the Cirque DeDemain competition in 1987. He is currently touring two different solo shows: "Murph the physical comedian" (a bullet-proof comedy show) and "Metamurphosis" (very loosely semi-autobiographical). Waldo and Woodhead (Paul Burke and Mark "Woody" Keppel) have performed their zany antics on five continents and in four languages; they currently co-star in the musical follies "Vaudeville in My Blood." Woody is a songwriter, character actor, and musician, and Waldo is known as "The World's Greatest Juggler" (when he's not dropping things). Paso Loco, the New York-based dance team ofJoe Orrach and Max Pollak, combines mind-boggling, get-down, funky tap with pulsating and syncopated percussion. Mr. Orrach, co-founder of the tap company "Hot Foot," and Mr. Pollak, a former principal with the Manhattan Dance Co., join forces for this debut performance at Tanglewood. Representing seventeen countries, the students who make up the Berkshire Community College International Chorus share their various cultures with their audiences through song, performing in French, Creole, Spanish, English, and African dialect. The majority of the students did not speak English when they arrived at the school and also take col- lege courses while learning the language. The traveling troupe Le Masque: Theatre-Arts Ensemble offers Fantastic Face Painting u n folk-art Renais- { maquillage in French), which consists of color-coordinated ornamental sance designs and masks. Le Masque is widely known for "danse-dramas" reminiscent of an earlier time, but contemporary in their innovative and evocative interdisciplinary weavings of masks, music, poetry, and allegorical "story-danse.".
