Musicianship, technology and creativity permeate student鈥檚 horn performance

Braydon Ross

The many talents of music education major Braydon Ross 鈥22 were on full display Dec. 4 during the Concert Hour.

Ross鈥 performance of Pamela J. Marshall鈥檚 鈥Isolde鈥檚 Garden鈥 was among the featured pieces. His musicianship, technological expertise and creativity brought the moving four-horn piece鈥攁ll played by Ross鈥攖o life and inspired listeners, including 91成人导航 President Christopher Callahan.

鈥淭hat was, by far, the most uplifting 2陆 minutes of my week. Thank you for sharing,鈥 Callahan said. 鈥淲ell done Braydon!鈥

Conservatory of Music Dean Peter Witte added: 鈥淏raydon鈥檚 gifts as a musician, video and sound engineer, then in post-production are on full display here. (These are) skills we鈥檝e all learned since March. Braydon studies horn with (Professor) Sadie Glass and is a force for good and joy at 91成人导航 and beyond.鈥

Ross is grateful for faculty guidance and the many opportunities he and other 91成人导航 music students have to express and showcase their art.

鈥淚 have wonderful faculty to be thankful for. I've learned聽so much as a solo and chamber music performer under the instruction of professors Sadie Glass and Steve Perdicaris,鈥 said Ross, who also is a Powell Scholar. 鈥淥pportunities to develop as an educator and leader are bountiful thanks to Dr. (Ruth) Brittin and Dr. (Courtney) Lehmann.

鈥淚nspiring performers and speakers are constantly interacting with conservatory students because of the creativity and care of Dean Witte, Professor James Haffner, (marketing coordinator) Sylwia Lipiec-Qualls, and the entire faculty/administration team,鈥 Ross said. 鈥淚 feel so lucky to attend a school as supportive and musically/intellectually/socially cultivating as 91成人导航.鈥澛
