Demondrae Thurman, Euphonium with Pianist Kathryn Fouse
Doors Open: 7:00 PM
Known worldwide for his signature sound and overt musicality, Demondrae Thurman has brought his remarkable skills to light as a soloist, educator, chamber musician and conductor. As a frequently invited guest at many of the world's most noted festivals and conferences for Low Brass, his voice-like timbre reaches everyone in his audience. In addition to performing with many of the finest orchestras in the United States, chamber music is an integral component of his career. He has performed on euphonium and/or trombone with the Brass Band of Battle Creek, New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, and the Youngblood Brass Band- but his most celebrated collaboration to date is as first euphonium with the Sotto Voce Quartet. Currently, Demondrae is professor of music at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. The position was created for him to utilize his specific skills and expertise in euphonium and brass chamber music. He is also serving on the faculty of Samford University as a Davis Artist in Residence.
This performance is part of the Davis Guest Artist Series in Partnership with the Birmingham Chamber Music Society.
