Joseph Alessi Presents Masterclass at Oklahoma State

On October 11th, thanks to a very special relationship between the McKnight Center for the Performing Arts, the New York Philharmonic, and the OSU Greenwood School of Music, we were able to have a wonderful masterclass with New York Philharmonic Principal Trombonist, Joseph Alessi. The masterclass was free and open to the public, so a large audience of OSU students and guests were able to enjoy this exciting event.
Joe shared valuable advice with all those who attended, and he also spent time answering audience questions. Together with our fantastic collaborative pianist Michael Schneider, OSU students Jason Wolfe, Spencer Hudson, Garrett Martin, and Jordan Davenport performed solo repertoire for Joe.
It was a truly special day that we will never forget! Thanks to Sebastian Rodriguez for taking some great pictures at the masterclass.
