On Episode 3 of the Musician’s Guide, Karen interviews Jeremy Wilson, Associate Professor of Trombone at Vanderbilt University’s Blair School of Music. In this interview, Jeremy tells the story of how his first-ever audition landed him a 5-year tenured position in the Vienna Philharmonic. He then discusses how he balances work and family, and the principles he lives by to prioritize being a professor, performer, husband, and father. He also explains that he always knew that he wanted to be a teacher, which is why he retired from one of the best performance opportunities as a trombonist in the Vienna Philharmonic. Finally, he takes the listener behind-the-scenes of releasing his debut album Perspectives, from photoshoots and marketing to his red carpet CD Release Concert.
