Charles Lazarus Master Class

Charles Lazaurs, trumpet section member of the Minnesota Orchestra, will be presenting a masterclass Sunday, April 22 at 2:30 pm in the CSM choral room.  Charles has been a member of the Minnesota Orchestra since 2000 and is a former member of the Dallas Brass, Meridian Arts Ensemble, and Canadian Brass.  An active composer, he is known for his blend of lounge/ exotic with funk influenced jazz.  He has released several solo albums of original compositions.  I've had the opportunity to work with him in the past- he's an amazing musician and I think his masterclass will be relevant to musicians on any instrument.  Below is a sample of his playing, enjoy!
