"About Mark Kellogg ...
Mark Kellogg enjoys the dual appointment of associate professor of trombone, euphonium, and chamber music at the Eastman School of Music and principal trombone of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. Throughout his career, he has embraced a wide variety of performing roles, from jazz soloist to chamber musician to orchestral performer.
After receiving the Performer's Certificate from the Eastman School of Music, where he studied trombone with John Marcellus and euphonium with Cherry Beauregard, Mr. Kellogg performed with the San Francisco Symphony, the National Repertory Orchestra, and the Syracuse Symphony. In 1989, he joined the Rochester Philharmonic, in which he performs on trombone, euphonium, and bass trumpet. Since joining the RPO, Kellogg has been featured soloist with the RPO on many occasions, performing the concerti of Albrechtsberger and Tomasi; Elliot Carter's Remembrance for Trombone and Orchestra, and numerous jazz and euphonium solos in the orchestra’s pops concerts. Kellogg has also been a soloist with the Brass Band of Battle Creek, Hamilton New Music Ensemble, Friends of Music Orchestra, and on an Eastman Wind Ensemble tour of Japan under Donald Hunsberger, performing the Launy Grondahl Concerto for Trombone and recording it for NHK radio.
Also active as a jazz musician throughout his career, Mr. Kellogg has played with Clark Terry, Chris Vadala, Wynton Marsalis, Eddie Daniel,s and Mel Torme. Recent jazz and commercial recordings include collaborations with Jeff Tyzik, Gene Bertoncini, Allen Vizzutti, Steve Gadd, and Gap Mangione. Each year he enjoys working with high school and college jazz ensembles around the country as an artist/clinician for the Yamaha Corporation of America.
As a chamber music collaborator, Mr. Kellogg has been a guest with Music of the Baroque in Chicago, San Francisco's Chamber Music West, and Rochester's Fortissimo! Festival and Society for Chamber Music. He can often be heard in recital with his RPO colleague, pianist Joseph Werner. A founding member of the brass and percussion ensemble Rhythm & Brass, Mr. Kellogg toured throughout Japan and the United States (including two performances at Carnegie’s Weill Recital Hall), performing over 180 concerts between 1993-1995. The group actively commissioned works by such composers as Karel Husa, Fred Sturm, and Maria Schneider, gave numerous master classes and workshops, and recorded four CDs.
At the Eastman School of Music, Mr. Kellogg teaches alto trombone, trombone, euphonium, coordinates the brass chamber music program, and conducts the Eastman Tuba Mirum. He has given recitals and master classes at schools and music festivals around the country, including the Music Festival at Breckenridge, the Tanglewood Music Center, the International Trombone Workshop, the Eastern Trombone Workshop, and the Leonard Falcone International Euphonium/Tuba Festival.
