SUMMARY:Justin Weis - Guest Artist Series
DESCRIPTION:Purchase tickets\n$20 general admission\nStudents free (ticket required) \nMead Witter School of Music Guest Artist Series\nJustin Weis\, euphonium \n…… \nProgram  \n\n…… \nWith performances in three continents and 10 U.S. states\, Justin Weis is making a name for himself as a soloist and innovator for low brass. Originally from Milwaukee\, WI\, Justin continues to travel around the United States and abroad to share both beautiful and unconventional sounds of the euphonium and tuba. \nAmong other accolades\, Justin was the artist division winner at the 2024 Leonard Falcone Euphonium and Tuba Festival\, the electronics solo competition winner at the 50th International Tuba Euphonium Conference (ITEC)\, and the euphonium artist division winner at the 2022 International Women’s Brass Conference (IWBC). \nJustin has been selected as a guest recitalist at several regional conferences including the South Central\, South East\, and Great Plains. He has additionally been invited as a guest artist to teach and perform at schools including the Universities of Memphis and Wisconsin. During his time as a recitalist\, Justin has been involved in the commissioning of multiple works. Some commissions and consortium involvements include solo works with live electronics from Lucy Pankhurst and Andrew May\, a multimedia solo piece by Brandon Warner\, a concertino by Jazzy Pigott\, and consortium works by Fernando Deddos\, Maria Thompson Corley\, and Ian Lester. Though he performs a wide variety of repertoire spanning the 18th century to the present\, he takes a special interest in the use of innovative electronic technologies to advance the repertoire. \nIn addition to performing\, Justin actively composes works for solo euphonium and electronics\, and arranges for his euphonium quartet\, Euphonium Camerata. His works and arrangements have been performed at festivals\, galas\, conferences\, and competitions. His recent euphonium edition of the Cyrille Rose 32 Etudes for Clarinet is published by KDP\, and other arrangements can be found through the euphonium.com store. Additional compositions and arrangements are available upon request and include quartet arrangements of Bruckner\, Dvorak\, and Verdi\, which range in difficulty from music for young players to works that will challenge even professional ensembles. \nAs an educator\, Justin’s most recent positions were as Adjunct Instructor of Euphonium at the University of North Texas and Adjunct Professor of Low Brass at Collin College\, where he coached undergraduate students in weekly lessons. He served as a teaching fellow at the University of North Texas while completing his doctoral studies\, where he was additionally responsible for coaching a chamber ensemble and leading the 7 O’Clock Tuba-Euphonium Ensemble. He has previously taught as a private lesson instructor for multiple schools in the Dallas-Fort Worth area\, a graduate assistant at the University of Memphis\, and as a summer sectional coach for the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater summer band program. \nJustin received a BM in music education from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater\, an MM in euphonium performance with a conducting related field from the University of North Texas\, and a DMA in euphonium performance from UNT. He currently lives in Long Island\, New York\, where he is advocating for the euphonium as an instrument of expression outside the traditional classical settings. He continues to present recitals at conferences\, universities\, and nontraditional venues\, and is actively engaged in pushing the boundaries of the art form to draw in new listeners and challenge traditional norms.
