VISITING ARTIST SYNOPSIS
JAY DALY VISITING ARTIST
Jay Daly is recognized as one of the finest trumpeters, educators and clinicians in the Northeast. Jay offers clinics, coaching and concert shows to secondary and post-secondary schools with fees that are surprisingly affordable. Jay comes to your school to work with your band directors and musicians over an agreed period of time -- ranging from one-time clinics and masterclasses to longer residencies.
One of Jay's most productive visiting artist engagements includes a concert performance by Jay of his show "Celebration of the Trumpet" with a school concert band or jazz band. Jay provides the "book" for the 30-minute show, works with the band to prepare the concert, and then performs with the band in a public setting.
Some schools use this special performance as a fundraising vehicle, including it in a ticketed concert.
"I've never heard our band sound that great. And the kids were over the moon about the entire experience. Wow is all I can say," offered one band booster after a 2022 performance.
