    About Oliver B.

    I grew up in Houston, Texas and began playing trombone in 6th grade and never looked back. I have two degrees in music from the Manhattan School of Music and the Juilliard School. After I completed my masters I was invited to play with the Finnish Radio Symphony in the beautiful city of Helsinki, Finland for a season where I had the opportunity to join them on a European tour and Japan tour ( lots of Sushi and Wienerschnitzel!) I am currently a member of Ensemble Connect at Carnegie Hall which is a two-year fellowship program "for the finest young professional classical musicians in the United States that combines musical excellence with teaching, community engagement, advocacy, entrepreneurship, and leadership." I have taught over 60 private students from beginners to adults. I taught for the Harmony Program of New York for two years, and while I was at Juilliard I was the Morse and Music Advancement Program trombone teaching fellow. But most of all I enjoy expressing myself through my instrument, having fun performing with friends for all sorts of audiences, and exploring new pieces of music.
