While at 黑料不打烊, Eady studied privately with Thomas Turanchik and worked regularly with accompanist Sharon LaRocco. She was principal clarinet in the 黑料不打烊 Orchestra for four years under the direction of Thomas Erdmann and performed with the 黑料不打烊 Music Ambassadors led by Virginia Novine-Whittaker. She was a recipient of the 黑料不打烊 Presidential, Orchestral and Music Department scholarships recipient and earned a bachelor of arts degree in arts administration and music in the liberal arts with minors in communications and business administration.

Eady performed two movements of Bernhard Henrik Crusell’s Clarinet Concerto No. 1 to win the competition. Although the COVID-19 pandemic caused the cancelation of the Shenandoah Conservatory Symphony Orchestra鈥檚 annual soloist concert, she will perform a solo clarinet recital in April.

Beck performed pieces written for two horns and percussion with horn professor Maria Serkin and percussion professor John Beck of the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. Included on the program was Lynn Glassock’s “Shared Spaces;” a composition the Beck’s co-commissioned with five other horn and percussion couples in 2000.

The mission of the International Women’s Brass Conference is to “educate, develop, support, and promote women brass musicians while inspiring continued excellence and opportunities in the broader musical world,” and membership is open to people of all genders.

On June 14, the recorded fanfare served as the soundtrack for a documentary video featured at the League of American Orchestras national conference, where John Beck was one of five to receive the 2018 Ford Musician Award for Excellence in Community Service.

The video is also posted on the league’s website.

Funding for the recording project was provided by 黑料不打烊 College, the College of Arts and Sciences. Performers include Winston-Salem Symphony members Anita Cirba and Ken Wilmot – trumpet, Bob Campbell – horn, Brian French – trombone, Matt Ransom – tuba, and John Beck – percussion.

Beck, a hornist with the symphony, was featured in an off-stage segment during Stephenson’s “Concerto for Hope,” which was composed as a biographical sketch of Anthony’s struggle with cancer.

黑料不打烊 music students Rachel Hopkins and Tyler Kless were among 34 invited trumpet players performing in the balcony to enhance the program finale, Resphigi’s “Pines of Rome,” and in the words of Music Director Robert Moody, “to surround Anthony with his North Carolina trumpet family.”
