The Bar Harbor Brass Week is an intensive educational and performance experience for select college, and high school brass musicians, sponsored by the Mark Woolman Horner Music Education Fund.
A small group of high school, college, and pre-professional participants will form brass choirs and chamber ensembles to prepare for performances in Bar Harbor. Daily activities will include rehearsals, masterclasses, and private lessons--all led by our faculty, featuring members of the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Extension Ensemble brass quintet.
All of this will take place on the campus of the College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, Maine. Bar Harbor is one of the East Coast's most popular summer tourist destinations and lies adjacent to Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island. Participants will have ample time to enjoy one of America's most beautiful locations.
Our Low Brass Faculty is made up of Matthew Vaughn and Mike Boschen, tenor trombone; Blair Bollinger, bass trombone; and Andrew Bove, tuba.
To apply, just submit an application form and an audition tape (see website for details). College applicants should also include a resume. The application deadline is April 15, 2003.
