Bibliography Events Myrtle on the Web Guestbook Finding the truth is not enough. What we also have to find is justice.                                ~Rigoberta Menchu Weston Sprott Tuesday, 01 July 2008 Metropolitan Opera Orchestra trombonist Weston Sprott is one of my present day heroes. A native of Spring, Texas, he commenced his formal training under the tuteledge of Michael Warny, trombonist with the Houston Grand Opera and Ballet Orche stras. He began his undergraduate study at Indiana University in Bloomington with Carl Lenthe (former Principal Trombonist of Bavarian State Opera and Bamberg Symphony) and continued his studies at The Curtis Institute of Music. At Curtis, Mr. Sprott studied with Nitzan Haroz (Principal Trombone- Philadelphia Orchestra) and graduated in the Spring of 2005. (But before he could shake a hand to accept his degree, he was snatched up by The MET. I know. Wow. Talk about determination and hard-work.) While a student at Curtis, Mr. Sprott served as Principal Trombone of The Pennsylvania Ballet Orchestra (Philadelphia) and Principal Trombone of The Delaware Symphony Orchestra. Weston was also an active freelancer in Philadelphia with The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia and the Haddonfield Symphony. As an orchestral musician, he has performed with The Philadelphia Orchestra, Oslo Philharmonic, the Tanglewood Music Center, Spoleto Festival USA, Hot Springs Music Festival, The American Wind Symphony Orchestra, the Sphinx Symphony (Detroit) and several others. Outside engagements have led to performances with gospel and jazz artists Take 6, Donnie McClurkin and Branford Marsalis. Weston is currently Second Trombonist of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, a position he has held since May of 2005. See what made New York all-a-buzz when Mr. Sprott performs at Carnegie Hall's "Bulgarian Concert Evenings in New York" Opening Night Gala.   < Prev   Next > [ Back ]       © 2012 myrtlehart.org Joomla! is Free Software released under the GNU/GPL License.
