School of Music Visiting Artist
THE FACTORY SECONDS BRASS TRIO consists of Jack Sutte Trumpet, Jesse McCormick, Horn, and Richard Stout, Trombone. Each occupies the Second Chair position in their respective section with The Cleveland Orchestra, and all are faculty members at Baldwin Wallace Conservatory. Established in 2012, the group brings a distinctive voice into brass chamber music. Transcribing and performing a continually growing body of early music and seeking out collaborations with composers have been two key areas of focus for FSBT. Factory Seconds has premiered numerous works by a range of composers including David Loeb, Clint Needham and Robert Pound.
Factory Seconds Brass Trio is an Ensemble In Residence at Baldwin Wallace Conservatory. As part of this residency, the group engages with students in multiple ways, including in-classroom collaborative teaching with academic faculty, and reading and coaching sessions. Factory Seconds is particularly enthusiastic about a February 2018 Carnegie Hall performance in collaboration with Baldwin Wallace Symphonic Wind Ensemble. The trio is also involved in the community through outreach programs and presenting family programs.
