Performing Arts Series to Welcome Jeremy Wilson
The Lee University School of Music will welcome Jeremy Wilson, trombone, to present a masterclass and concert for this season’s Performing Arts Series (PAS). The masterclass will take place on Saturday, March 18, at 10:30 a.m. in Pangle Hall, and the performance will take place later that day, at 2 p.m. in Squires Recital Hall.
The concert will feature selections from W. Gregory Turner, Susan Mutter, Anthony DiLorenzo, Barbara York, and Erich Wolfgang Korngold.
Wilson, associate professor of Trombone at Vanderbilt University, has been acclaimed for the versatility and lyricism of his playing and has built one of the premiere undergraduate trombone programs in the United States. He has commissioned or premiered over 30 pieces since 2016 and recorded many of them for his two albums, “Perspectives” and “The Beauty of the Earth.”
At his first orchestral audition, Wilson won a position with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and the Orchestra of the Vienna State Opera. During his time with these groups, he performed hundreds of orchestral concerts in 28 countries under several of the world’s leading conductors.
Currently, Wilson is a member of the Aries Trombone Quartet “supergroup,” the Blair Brass Quintet, and TRIIIOMNIA, a trumpet, trombone, and piano trio. He has also given masterclasses and lectures in universities all around the world.
Wilson graduated from the University of Tennessee with a double major in music education and performance and earned his Master of Music from the University of North Texas.
