Hometown Musician Returns
by BETHANY CASELLA

Brett Long, former Mansfield University student, returns to perform “Modern Trumpet” with previous teacher and friend, Michael Galloway, who teaches trumpet at MU and leads the university’s jazz ensemble.

Long, originally from Galeton, Pennsylvania, graduated from MU in 2006 with his Bachelor’s Degree. He now is attending the Eastman School of Music in Rochester and will start his doctorate classes next year. Long has been a student of Galloway since his junior high days in Galeton and also studied under him at MU.

“Modern Trumpet” will be performed on April 20 at 7 p.m. in the Steadman Theatre on the MU Campus.

 This alumni recital consists of only four artists. Long will be accompanied by Mayumi Matzen, and Angela Occhionero on clarinet. Galloway will play a duet with Long.
