Juilliard performed for close to 100 Carlmont High School Students during a workshop event in late October organized by the school’s music director Brian Switzer.
“Juilliard musicians are like young NASA scientists on instruments. There’s so much talent there,” he said. “I wanted to expose that to my students.”
Switzer brought together about 100 students from the school’s symphony orchestra and jazz ensemble for the visit, including trumpet players Joey Du Bois, who is a junior, and freshman Lucas Fedronic. The two will be performing in a concert featuring Carlmont jazz ensembles and combos 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6, that will be broadcast live on KCEA 89.1 FM.
