Steven Bryant

Composer

Dr. Jeremy McBain is a trumpet professor at the University of Texas at Tyler, where he teaches applied trumpet, brass chamber music, brass methods, and arranging. He previously taught at Eastern Illinois University, Millikin University, and Saint Mary’s College. An active performer, McBain is principal trumpet of the Texarkana Symphony and a member of the Rose City Brass Quintet and Jazz Orchestra. He has also played with numerous ensembles including the East Texas Symphony and the Bach Society of Houston, and has performed with artists like Doc Severinsen and Michael Brecker. He holds a DMA from the University of Illinois, with earlier degrees from the University of Michigan and University of Houston. 

​

Steven Bryant’s music is chiseled in its structure and intent, fusing lyricism, dissonance, silence, technology, and humor into lean, skillfully-crafted works that enthrall listeners and performers alike. His seminal work Ecstatic Waters, for wind ensemble and electronics, has become one of the most performed works of its kind in the world, receiving over 250 performances in its first five seasons. The orchestral version was premiered by the Minnesota Orchestra to unanimousrapturous acclaim. The son of a professional trumpeter and music educator, he strongly values music education, and his creative output includes a number of works for young and developing musicians.

Repertoire:

BRYANT: Whirlwind
