To those interested:
Matthew Gaunt has been appointed Visiting Assistant Professor of tuba and euphonium at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. A member of Burning River Brass and Proteus 7, Mr. Gaunt will be joining the UMass/Amherst faculty in August of 2004.
The Umass/Amherst Music Department is seeking a Graduate Teaching Assistant for Tuba beginning September 2004. This assistantship includes full tuition remission (I believe it leaves only around $1,200 in fees to the student), and a stipend of $5,863. Duties include rehearsing and performing with the Graduate Brass Quintet and other duties to be announced. Please visit http://www.umass.edu/music/index.html for more information or contact Matthew Gaunt via email at MHGaunt@aol.com.
Matthew H. Gaunt (tuba) currently performs and records as a member of Proteus 7, an eclectic combination of brass, woodwinds, and percussion, and as a member of Burning River Brass. In addition to performing with acclaimed groups such as Rhythm & Brass and the Empire Brass, his chamber music experience includes performances and recordings as a member of the award-winning quintets Boston Brass, Paramount Brass, and Epic Brass. As an orchestral musician, Mr. Gaunt has performed with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra, and all of the regional orchestras in New England and was formerly Principal Tuba of the Albany Symphony Orchestra. As a soloist, he has performed with such groups as the Massachusetts Wind Orchestra, Springfield Symphony Orchestra, and the Harvard University Wind Ensemble (performing on their rare sub-contrabass tuba). Mr. Gaunt received the Bachelor of Music in Tuba Performance from the Boston University School of Music and has studied with J. Samuel Pilafian, Gary Ofenloch, and Chester Schmitz.
Thanks!
