The sixth annual Bar Harbor Brass Week will take place this year June
25-July 1. It is open to pre-professional, college, and high school brass
players. Tuition, housing, and food are free for accepted college
participants. Information can be found at the following website:

A small group of students will be selected based on audition tapes and
applications to form a college brass choir and a high school brass choir for
performances in the Bar Harbor area. Students will also perform in chamber
groups, attend clinics, recitals, lessons, and rehearsals with our
distinguished faculty.

The application deadline is approaching very soon, March 15 for college
students. April 15th for high school students.

The faculty includes Blair Bollinger (Bass Trombone, Philadelphia
Orchestra), Christopher Martin (Principal Trumpet, Chicago Symphony),
Matthew Vaughn (Associate-Principal Trombone, Philadelphia Orchestra), Adam
Unsworth (Horn, Philadelphia Orchestra), Stephen Dumaine (Tuba, National
Symphony), and The Extension Ensemble brass quintet-Ralph Alessi, Sysil
Mathai, trumpets; Theodore Primis, horn; Michael Boschen, trombone; Andrew
Bove, tuba.
