About
Harrison is currently undertaking his final year at ANAM under the tutelage of Colin Prichard, after spending two years studying Trombone at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music. Since a young age, Harrison was surrounded by the sounds of brass; his parents and family were all involved in brass bands. Quickly captivated, he began playing the trombone at the age of 8. Harrison’s love for the trombone grew with his love for classical music, and in the later years of high school, he began dreaming of a career in classical music and performing in one of the world’s best orchestras.
Last year, Harrison and the ANAM Trombone Quartet were finalists in the inaugural Littin Trombone Quartet competition in Frankfurt and look to continue to partake once again in the competition in 2025 in Japan. Harrison has been fortunate enough to study with some incredible teachers in the past including Michael Bertoncello, Prof. David King, Jason Redman, Ben Marks and Ash Carter over the journey. Last year, Harrison had the opportunity to play alongside members of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and Auckland Philharmonia to showcase brilliant works by Schoenberg and Respighi.
Since 2019, Harrison has been involved in frequent Australian Youth Orchestra programs and is extremely excited to share the incredible music of Rimsky-Korsakov and Tchaikovsky around Europe with the finest young musicians of Australia with AYO.
