Arranged for a standard 4-person low brass section, Barber's famous Adagio for Strings is presented here in a manner that is both attractive to listeners and matches this specific instrumentation.
Named one of Canada’s “hottest 30 classical musicians under 30”, Jarrett McCourt currently performs with the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra and the Civic Orchestra of Chicago and is on faculty at the University of Memphis. Prior to this, Jarrett was the Principal Tubist with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra and Tuba Fellow with the New World Symphony. Jarrett’s playing has been called “magnificent” by the Palm Beach Daily News and “warm, romantic and seamless” by the South Florida Classical Review. Jarrett has performed with a number of different high-level ensembles, including the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, l’Orchestre Symphonique de Montreal, the National Arts Centre Orchestra and the Canadian Brass. Additionally, Jarrett has performed under classical conductors such as Michael Tilson Thomas, Valery Gergiev, Simon Rattle, Fabio Luisi, and Yannick Nezet-Seguin, as well as alongside jazz heavyweights Esperanza Spalding and Wayne Bergeron.
