Welcome to The International Euphonium Institute!! I am so excited to have the opportunity to organize, teach, and perform at this outstanding camp again. This year we have a record number of participants and that growth only stimulates me to think of greater things for our instru-ment! With the addition of the New Works recital and Composer in Residence, I hope to create a sense of tradition and strength for this week long “slice of euphonium heaven” as well as continue to develop quality repertoire. My thanks to my two exceptional helpers of Karen Mullins and Ryan Black!! I look forward to sharing, fun and enjoyment and hope it serves as a massive source of inspiration for all the participants, guest artists, and audiences as it does for me.
