Jarrett McCourt

Named one of Canada’s “hottest 30 classical musicians under 30,” Jarrett McCourt has been praised for his “magnificent” playing (Palm Beach Daily News) and his “warm, romantic and seamless” sound (South Florida Classical Review).

Jarrett is Assistant Professor of Tuba and Euphonium at the UMKC Conservatory and Principal Tuba of the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra. He previously served as Principal Tuba of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra and as a Fellow of the New World Symphony. He has performed with ensembles including the Berlin Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, Detroit Symphony, St. Louis Symphony, and Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal.

A prizewinner at the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal Standard Life Competition and a finalist in the XVI Tchaikovsky Competition, Jarrett is an active soloist, educator, and advocate for new music. He has released three solo albums: Golden Hour, Voyager, and Onyx.
