Ashley becomes the second-ever woman to join Canadian Brass after Manon LaFrance, a member from 2006-2010 and now the Director of the Conservatoire de Musique de Montreal.
When asked about her experience after being selected as a Canadian Brass, Ashley said, “Joining Canadian Brass feels like a dream come true. I remember standing on stage in 2001 with Chuck, Gene, Joe, Jeff and Ryan, thinking, ‘Wouldn’t it be incredible to be in a chamber group like Canadian Brass one day?’ Consistent with my journey over the past two decades is my desire to connect deeply with audiences through the gift of music.”
“I want to do this at the highest level possible, which is why my ‘yes’ to becoming the newest member of Canadian Brass was an easy decision. I am thrilled to be joining this special group of artists and bringing this music to audiences worldwide.”
