We are pleased to announce this year's ever-popular annual KSU Brass Blast! Our guest will be acclaimed Horn player, Jeff Nelsen of the Canadian Brass. In addition to his illustrious chamber music career, Jeff has been heard both in section and as soloist with major orchestras across the world, has given TEDx talks on Fearless Performance, and serves as Professor of Horn at Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music. In addition to classes and a solo performance with Jeff, Brass Blast goers will have the opportunity to participate in like-instrument sectionals and perform alongside the Georgia Brass and KSU faculty members in concert! Join us for this can’t-miss event!
