ABOUT ME: Hello world! My name is Tom McFadden and I am a sophomore music major at VCU. I am originally from the Washington, DC area and am the first in my family to pursue a career in music. I graduated from Paul IV Catholic High School in Fairfax, VA, where I played horn and trumpet in the PVI Wind Ensemble. At VCU, I have played with a BUNCH of different ensembles, including the Symphonic Wind Ensemble, the VCU Symphony Orchestra, two brass quintets, a horn trio, and now, the VCU Jazz Orchestra II…. YES, you CAN play jazz on the horn!! I have a pretty open mind towards any type of music, but my favorite ‘horn-related’ pieces are Strauss’ Andante, Mahler’s 1st and 8th symphonies, the Mozart horn concerti, and some of Ken Wiley’s solo works. What do I love most about VCU? The people I get to work (and play) with.

 


 

ABOUT ME:  Hi! I’m Roxanne! I am in my third semester as a member of the VCU French Horn Studio under the direction of Dr. Patrick Smith. I graduated from Jamestown High School in Williamsburg, VA in 2005 and am working on a B.A. in Music with an as of yet unknown concentration. I have participated in several ensembles at VCU, including the Symphonic Wind ensemble, the VCU orchestra, and several small ensembles. My favorite composers include Gustav Mahler and Johannes Brahms. Sometime in the distant future, I plan on pursuing a career in production within the rock music industry.
