We love hearing from our alums about what they’ve been up to since their time in TRYPO! Today we feature trumpet player, Kevin Skinkis! We’re so proud of his accomplishments!! Read all about Kevin’s time in TRYPO and what he is doing now:
Kevin joined TRYPO in 2015 and played in our ensembles until the 2016-17 season. Kevin is a graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Music with a Masters of Music studying under Michael Sachs, principal trumpet, Cleveland Orchestra. Currently, he is pursuing a Graduate Diploma Degree at CIM and frequently appears with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra and Louisville Orchestra. Kevin has also appeared with the Pittsburgh Symphony Brass Quintet. Kevin is actively participating in professional auditions.
“TRYPO introduced me to the vast repertoire of the orchestral world including works by Hanson, Debussy, and Rimsky-Korsakov that strengthened my persistence towards a musical career and gave me a true taste of what playing in a high level orchestra is like for young aspiring musicians”.
