As a trombonist, Greg is active as a recitalist, soloist, and chamber musician. A graduate of both the Boyer College of Music and Dance at Temple University in Philadelphia and Lebanon Valley College in Annville [PA], his primary teachers include Matthew Vaughn and Glenn Dodson of the Philadelphia Orchestra, and James Erdman of the United States Marine Band. Greg is also fortunate enough over his years of study to have been coached by Nitzan Haroz, Blair Bollinger, Vern Kagarice, David Bilger, Charles Abramovic, Lambert Orkis, Rodney Marsalis, Warren Deck, and Jose Sibaja. In 2007 and 2008 Greg was selected as a finalist in the International Trombone Association’s Larry Wiehe and Marstellar Competitions. Greg currently serves on the low brass faculties at Lebanon Valley College in Annville, PA and Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA.
Equally at home as both a classical and jazz musician, he has performed professionally as a trombonist with many musical organizations, including the Rodney Marsalis Philadelphia Big Brass, Symphony in C, the Wilmington Ballet Orchestra, Harrisburg Area Jazz Collective, Third Stream, Quartet die Posaunen, the Dave Stahl Sacred Orchestra, and the Pottstown Symphony. As an orchestral musician, Greg has performed under the batons of Rossen Milanov, Cristian Macelaru, Luis Biava, Rosalind Erwin, John Douglas, Allan Scott, Jeri Lynne Johnson, Stuart Molina, and Charles Dutoit. In 2014 Greg released his first solo CD, “Strohman Says,” which features him performing his own works and is available on iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, CD Baby, and other distributers through tgNotes, Inc.
