Description
What would you get if you mixed Bud Herseth with Gary Trudeau? You would probably end up with my guest for this episode, Jeff Curnow.
Jeff is a bit of a dichotomy. He’s a world-class orchestral player currently with the Philadelphia Orchestra. He’s recorded and performed around the world as a member of internationally acclaimed Empire Brass. But Jeff is also a regularly published satirical cartoonist and a video creator with an absurd sense of humor.
So join us and check out what Jeff has to say about balancing being a serious classical musician and a satirical artist, the one thing that drives him crazy about classical music, the importance of being a team player, growing up in a musical family, being a musical rebel by playing Ravel, the process of going from horrible practice to expert performance, the challenge of playing orchestral music, lessons learned while playing with the Empire Brass, understanding the various roles in the trumpet section, surreal gigs, and so much more.
So pour yourself a big glass, pull up a chair and let the hang begin!
