Recital: Garrett Frees '23, Jazz Saxophone

NEC: Pierce Hall | Directions

241 St. Botolph St.
Boston, MA
United States

NEC's students meet one-on-one each week with a faculty artist to perfect their craft. As each one leaves NEC to make their mark in the performance world, they present a full, professional recital that is free and open to the public. It's your first look at the artists of tomorrow.

Garrett Frees '23 has studied Jazz Saxophone with Jason Moran, Joe Morris, Miguel Zenón, Jerry Leake, Melissa Aldana, Jerry Bergonzi, Frank Carlberg, Donny McCaslin, and Brian Levy.

This is an in-person event with a private stream available to the NEC community here:
