The Hatters will present Johannes Brahms’ celebrated Trio in E flat Op. 40, a trio by nineteenth century hornist of Opera Paris Frederic Nicholas Duvernoy, and the Walden Trio by New York City-based jazz saxophonist Daniel Schnyder. The audience is invited to bring a sack lunch.
Dan Nebel began taking horn lessons with Karloe Felts at Los Alamos Music in 1996 and graduated from Los Alamos High School in 2004 after participating in many of the local ensembles. Nebel is currently working on a doctorate of music at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, Colorado; he received a Bachelor’s degree and performer’s certificate from the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY and a Master’s degree from Wichita State University in Wichita, Kan.
