Ronald Romm, widely acknowledged as one of the pre-eminent trumpeters and clinicians, will be on the UGA campus January 13-15 as a guest trumpet artist in the Hodgson School of Music. Romm will coach the graduate quintet, teach trumpet lessons, give two public master classes and perform a solo recital during the three-day visit, sponsored by the school of music.

Romm earned his Bachelor and Masters degree at the Juilliard School, where he studied with William Vacchiano, legendary teacher and former Principal Trumpet of the New York Philharmonic. After establishing himself as a successful freelance musician in New York City, Romm joined the newly formed Canadian Brass. In June of 2000 he retired from the group after participating in well over 4,500 concerts, 60 recordings, numerous television specials, videos and hundreds of master classes. He has performed with major orchestras and with the greatest living conductors in the world, sharing the stage in live performance and recorded CDs with leading artists including Wynton Marsalis, Arturo Sandoval, Jon Faddis, Doc Severinsen, and brass performers from the Boston Symphony Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, and Berlin Philharmonic. As an educator, Ronald Romm has contributed to the growth of brass performance through hundreds of student clinics and master classes worldwide.
