He has also performed with the London Symphony Orchestra. Mr. Becker brings a vast amount of audition and performance experience to this seminar. He has been finalist for many orchestras in the U.S and abroad including the Chicago Symphony, San Francisco Symphony, Atlanta Symphony, Lyric Opera of Chicago, The Metropolitan Opera, and the London Symphony Orchestra.
“For any student who is serious about orchestral training, Becker's low brass boot camp is a great opportunity. His extensive knowledge of auditions and experience as a performer would be a great asset to the student and young professional.”
--Jay Friedman, Principal Trombone,
"This is a great opportunity to deal with the specifics of the audition environment. Many fine musicians fail to excel in this most artificial performance setting. It is a unique challenge and warrants a specialized workshop such as Michael Becker's Low Brass Boot Camp. I recommend it highly."
--Michael Mulcahy, Second Trombone,
