Peabody trumpet faculty Joe Burgstaller’s new solo CD, License To Thrill, has been played on over 110 radio stations across the United States and was the subject of an hour-long feature on Sirius-XM Radio. The album features Julian Gargiulo (MM ’97, Piano) and Stephanie Shih-yu Cheng (BM ’93, MM ’96, Piano; MM ’96, Computer Music), as well as a choir comprised of current Peabody students: Joelle Arnhold, Mary Burke, Karl Butterman, Alex Clark, Joshua Ganger, Jessica Hiemstra, Cameron Kalemkarian, Joel Kilgore, Emily Korth, Annaliese Perrett, Kelsey Ross, Kevin Sabik, Alyssa Spratta, Rachel Tyler, Frances Yu and Carlos Zabala.

In every city he visits, Burgstaller will also give masterclasses, including his groundbreaking Change Your Mind, Change Your Playing classes for all musicians.
