Euphonium virtuoso Steven Mead will perform in recital Thursday, February 14, at Windsor’s Mackenzie Hall.

Mead’s career as a professional solo performer continues to break new ground. With over 75 solo performances a year, his relentless schedule sees him touring almost constantly.

For his program Thursday, he will be accompanied by pianist Emily Lai, and even joined by UWindsor’s own euphoniumist Robert Benton for a duet of Philip Sparke’s Two Part Invention.

The show begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15, with a student price of $5, available at the door, by phone at 519-253-3000 ext. 4212, or online at www.uwindsor.ca/music. Mackenzie Hall is located at 3277 Sandwich Street.

Mead will also offer a free public masterclass at 2:30 p.m. Thursday in the Music Building’s room 139. The clinic is intended for wind musicians but open to all; details available on the music website.
