A member of the Cleveland Orchestra since 2006, Sugiyama brings extensive performance and teaching experience to 91ֱ��.</p><p>“We are beyond thrilled that Yasuhito Sugiyama, the principal tubist and a real star of the Cleveland Orchestra, has joined us at 91ֱ��,” says Professor of Flute <a href="/alexa-still" target="_blank" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="3e1a79cf-02ac-4e57-9622-e4380853f2f0" data-entity-substitution="canonical" title="Alexa Still">Alexa Still</a>. “We’ve all been so inspired by his playing in the orchestra.”</p><p>Sugiyama began his professional career with the Kyoto Symphony Orchestra, followed by stints with the Osaka Philharmonic Orchestra and Osaka Symphoniker. In 1997, he joined the New Japan Philharmonic and began performing with the Saito Kinen Orchestra. </p><p>He soon distinguished himself as a soloist, appearing with the New Japan Philharmonic in a 1998 performance of Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Tuba Concerto and presenting solo recitals in Tokyo and Osaka the following year. </p><p>In 2003, Sugiyama became the first Asian musician to join the orchestra of the Vienna State Opera.

He has given master classes at institutions such as Indiana University, the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami, the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and Northwestern University.</p><p>“With such an illustrious performance career, it’s obvious that Yasuhito brings a wealth of experience to his teaching and coaching,” Still says. “He is also renowned for his pedagogy, and we are really excited for our 91ֱ�� students to benefit from that, too.”</p><p>A native of Hyogo, Japan, Sugiyama is a graduate of Soai University in Osaka, where he studied with Shuzo Karakawa of the Osaka Philharmonic. He also studied with Rex Martin at Northwestern University and with Robert Tucci of the Bavarian State Opera and the Munich Philharmonic. Other principal teachers include Shigeo Takeda, Fuminori Ogata, and Ronald Bishop. He studied chamber music with Shinichi Go.</p></div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-subhead field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">The principal tuba player at the Cleveland Orchestra is a globally renowned performer and dedicated educator</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">News Story</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2026-02-10T12:00:00Z">Tue, 02/10/2026 - 12:00</time> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Office of Communications</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2356">Conservatory</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=3878">Conservatory of Music</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-programs field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?program=37356">Tuba</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-faculty field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/yasuhito-sugiyama" hreflang="en">Yasuhito Sugiyama</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-departments field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/conservatory/divisions/winds-brass-and-percussion" hreflang="und">Winds, Brass, and Percussion</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-pin-school-page field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">Off</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-photo-gallery-top field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">false</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-credit field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Courtesy of Yasuhito Sugiyama</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-media field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-article-header field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">0</div> </article> <article> <h1>Seraph Brass Brings Music with a Mission to 91ֱ��’s Finney Chapel Stage</h1> <p>srasmuss — Mon, 02 Oct 2023 21:00:08 +0000</p> <span>Seraph Brass Brings Music with a Mission to 91ֱ��’s Finney Chapel Stage</span> <span><span>srasmuss</span></span> <span><time datetime="2023-10-02T17:00:08-04:00" title="Monday, October 2, 2023 - 17:00">Mon, 10/02/2023 - 17:00</time> </span> <div class="text-content field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>It was this interest that prompted her to enter college at 14, ultimately earning her bachelor’s degree at the Curtis Institute of Music and her master’s degree at the Yale School of Music. Bowden won a position with the Richmond Symphony shortly thereafter. But, she longed to play as a soloist and chamber musician. Her dream of forming small ensembles first came to fruition with the formation of the Chrysalis Chamber Players, a collective that is based in south Florida.</p> <p>In 2014, building on the momentum from the experience with her first ensemble, she decided to move forward with a long-standing goal of forming an all-female brass quintet, and Seraph Brass was born. Bowden reached out to a fellow musician she met at Yale, and together they built the first roster of core performers. </p> <p>The ensemble’s mission is to showcase the excellence of female brass players and highlight musicians from marginalized groups both in personnel and in programming. They realize this in part by their roster of core and guest artists, and have gathered a number of up-and-coming artists who perform with the ensemble at various times. The ensemble also consistently programs and commissions works by under-represented composers.</p> <p>The current core members of the ensemble, in addition to Bowden, are trombonist Elisabeth Shafer, trumpet soloists Raquel Samayoa and Jean Laurenz, french horn soloist Rachel Velvikis, and tubist Robyn Black. </p> <p>Their October 13 concert in 91ֱ�� will begin with a new work, <em>Showcase</em>, by 91ֱ�� Conservatory professor Jeff Scott. The <a href="/events/artist_recital_series_seraph_brass">program</a> continues with a number of selections from contemporary female composers and composers of color. Interspersed in the program are classical works from more well-known composers, Edvard Grieg and Franz Liszt. The energetic, propulsive <em>Go!</em> by Anthony DiLorenzo closes the program. The ensemble will engage with the audience throughout the concert and offer commentary from the stage—a model fitting for an ensemble that considers education through performance an integral part of their mission. </p> <p>Bowden and the members of the ensemble have set the bar high for performing ensembles of any makeup. Seraph Brass was awarded the 2019 American Prize in Chamber Music and has been invited twice to Finland’s prestigious Lieksa Brass Week—a goal of Bowden’s when she first envisioned markers of success for the ensemble.</p> <p>“There have been a small number of very influential women brass players in the orchestral world for some time” remarks 91ֱ�� flute professor <a href="/alexa-still">Alexa Still</a>. “This concert is largely repertoire that they are recording this season, so we are being treated to a spectacular group playing really interesting repertoire, and it is wonderful and inspiring to see a brass quintet composed entirely of women enjoying such great success!” </p> <p><strong>91ֱ�� Student Engagement</strong><br> The ensemble will hold four <a href="https://calendar.oberlin.edu/search/events?past=1&search=%22seraph%22">master classes</a> for individual brass instruments and small ensembles between October 11 and 12. These classes will feature performances by students in the Conservatory's Brass Department and they are free and open to the public. </p> <p>Seraph Brass is a not-for-profit organization, with each of the core members providing specific administrative support in addition to performing. This forms the context for the group sharing their expertise and their experiences in entrepreneurship for 91ֱ�� students during a <a href="https://calendar.oberlin.edu/event/lunch_learn_conversation_seraph_brass_lunch_provided">lunch and learn session from 12:00-1 p.m. on Friday, October 13.</a> This session is sponsored by the Artist Recital Series and the 91ֱ�� Conservatory Professional Development Office. </p> <p>TICKETS<br> <a href="/tickets/event-details?EventId=6001">Reserved seating tickets </a>for the Seraph Brass performance are $35 for the general public.

The concert, held in conjunction with the U.N.’s 77th General Assembly, bears the title “A Watershed Moment: Transformative Solutions to Interlocking Challenges.” It features works spanning the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries: Adolphus Hailstork’s vivacious curtain-raiser Fanfare on "Amazing Grace;" Sergei Rachmaninoff’s peerlessly popular Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor, Op. 18; and Ludwig van Beethoven’s groundbreaking Symphony No. 9 in D Minor, Op. 125, commonly known as the “Choral Symphony.”</p> <p>The December 2 concert is a private event presented for the U.N. A <a href="https://calendar.oberlin.edu/event/musical_union_and_oberlin_college_choir_with_oberlin_orchestra_8604">public performance</a> of the Carnegie Hall program is scheduled for 91ֱ��’s Finney Chapel on Tuesday evening, November 29.</p> <p>“At 91ֱ��, we believe deeply in the power of music, and the arts more broadly, to foster connections between individuals and facilitate expansive new opportunities and access,” says <a href="/node/49511">William Quillen</a>, dean of 91ֱ�� Conservatory. "We are deeply honored to join in the global conversation with our partners at UNITAR and the GFPA, and we are so very proud to share our belief in the transformative power of music through this remarkable concert experience for our students.”</p> <p>Annual concerts are a U.N. tradition, though previous performances have typically featured only professional musicians. This year’s event is made possible through the support of the U.N.’s presenting partners: the Member States of Costa Rica, Ecuador, Hungary, Monaco, Oman, Rwanda, and Singapore.</p> <p>Created in 1963, UNITAR is dedicated to developing high-quality learning opportunities for United Nations delegates. The organization believes that a sustainable world is one where people can escape poverty and enjoy decent work without harming the earth's essential ecosystems and resources. UNITAR’s partnership with 91ֱ�� represents the group’s first major foray into undergraduate cultural arts education. A longtime partner with UNITAR, the GFPA promotes education in the arts and support to individuals engaged in the performing arts through cross-cultural exchange.</p> <p>91ֱ�� is one of a small number of U.S. institutions of higher education invited to take part in the initiative—and the only higher ed partner focused on undergraduate study.</p> <p>The partnership will create new opportunities for students worldwide to know and discover 91ֱ��. The first students selected through the program may begin as early as fall 2023. The agreement may also extend to the implementation of joint programs based on performance, research, conferences, and other experiences. A separate facet of the partnership, focusing on teaching English for speakers of other languages, is also being developed and would be hosted at 91ֱ��.</p> <p>The December 2 concert at Carnegie Hall will be led by 91ֱ�� Professor of Conducting <a href="/node/6636">Raphael Jiménez</a>. It features artist Byron Wei-Xin Zhou as piano soloist for the Rachmaninoff, as well as four accomplished international vocal soloists: 91ֱ�� Conservatory alumni mezzo-soprano Kathryn Leemhuis ’05 and tenor Joshua Blue ’16, and a pair of world-renowned artists invited by UNITAR, baritone Marco Chingari and soprano Sarah Tisba of Italy.</p> <p>“We could not be more excited by the invitation to participate in such a special event,” says Jiménez, who also led the 91ֱ�� Orchestra in Carnegie Hall performances in 2019 and 2013. “Every aspect of it makes it a unique experience for our students: the occasion, the venue, the audience, and the repertoire, which includes the awe-inspiring Beethoven Symphony No. 9. I cannot think of a more appropriate occasion and place to play this universal hymn of brotherhood.”</p> <p>“Music is a universal language and a powerful tool for cultural exchange. Its many positive spirits are the elements required for transformative solutions, and it will help to lead us through this watershed moment,” says pianist Zhou, who performed a solo recital for the 2021 U.N. Gala at Carnegie Hall. “As a musician, I firmly believe that utilizing music could promote the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals and eventually lead us to a better future.”</p> <p>For 91ֱ��’s student musicians, the December U.N. concert marks the first of two engagements at Carnegie Hall in a span of less than two months: The orchestra and choral ensembles return for a public performance in Stern Auditorium on January 20.</p> <p>Learn more on the <a href="/united-nations-partnership">United Nations Partnership page at 91ֱ��.edu</a>.</p> <hr style="margin: 1.25rem 0;"> <p><em>The <strong>United Nations Institute for Training and Research</strong> (UNITAR) was established in 1963 pursuant to a United Nations General Assembly resolution.
