Tubist to lead low-brass masterclass for music students

Windsor native Jarrett McCourt, principal tubist with the New World Symphony in Miami Beach, will lead a masterclass in low-brass performance for music majors Thursday evening.

McCourt has returned home for a performance with the Windsor Symphony Orchestra of the Concerto for Tuba and Strings by Arild Plau, February 4 at the Capitol Theatre.

“The Plau concerto has always been a piece that has spoken to me on a very deep level,” notes Jarrett. “Coming home to Windsor and performing this piece with Maestro (Robert) Franz and the WSO is something I’ve been looking forward to for a long time.”

His February 2 masterclass is open to the public and begins in room 125, Music Building at 7 p.m. Learn more on the event webpage.
