Wesley Nance<\/strong> (trumpet) is Second Trumpet with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, and has been a featured soloist with the orchestra on several occasions. Also a composer, the RPO brass section premiered his piece \u201cTwo Beats!\u201d on the RPO WPops concert series on Oct 17 and 18, 2003, and has performed it, as well as other compositions, several times since. He has received several commissions, ranging from full orchestra to five trumpets.<\/p>\n

Wes holds bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s degrees from the Eastman School of Music in trumpet performance, and is has been on the faculty of the Eastman Community Music School since 1990. His trumpet studio is highly regarded, and he directs a trumpet ensemble made up of many of the finest young players in the area. This ensemble is a champion of new music, having no fewer than four pieces commissioned for it in the last three years, and alumni of the group are studying at the finest music conservatories in the country.<\/p>\n

Outside of music, Wes enjoys espresso, tennis, sailing and a good movie downstairs in the home theater, where he\u2019s likely to be joined by RPO violinist Shannon Nance and their four children: Brooke, Brandon, Brianna, and Bridget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":140,"featured_media":27541,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"faculty-category":[],"faculty-instrument":[156],"faculty-department":[149],"faculty-ensemble":[],"faculty-type":[150],"faculty-tag":[186],"class_list":["post-2227","ecms-faculty","type-ecms-faculty","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","faculty-instrument-trumpet","faculty-department-woodwinds-brass-percussion-faculty","faculty-type-instructor","faculty-tag-rpo"],"acf":[],"mb":[],"featured_img":"https:\/\/www.esm.rochester.edu\/community\/files\/Wesley-Nance-1.jpg","coauthors":[],"author_meta":{"author_link":"https:\/\/www.esm.rochester.edu\/community\/author\/kristijan-bogdanovski\/","display_name":"Kristijan Bogdanovski"},"relative_dates":{"created":"Posted 11 months ago","modified":"Updated 8 months ago"},"absolute_dates":{"created":"Posted on May 23, 2025","modified":"Updated on August 5, 2025"},"absolute_dates_time":{"created":"Posted on May 23, 2025 10:11 AM","modified":"Updated on August 5, 2025 2:29 PM"},"featured_img_caption":"","tax_additional":{"faculty-category":{"linked":[],"unlinked":[],"slug":"faculty-category","name":"ECMS Faculty Categories"},"faculty-instrument":{"linked":["Trumpet<\/a>"],"unlinked":["Trumpet<\/span>"],"slug":"faculty-instrument","name":"ECMS Faculty Instruments"},"faculty-department":{"linked":["Woodwinds, Brass & Percussion<\/a>"],"unlinked":["Woodwinds, Brass & Percussion<\/span>"],"slug":"faculty-department","name":"ECMS Faculty Departments"},"faculty-ensemble":{"linked":[],"unlinked":[],"slug":"faculty-ensemble","name":"ECMS Faculty Ensembles"},"faculty-type":{"linked":["Instructor<\/a>"],"unlinked":["Instructor<\/span>"],"slug":"faculty-type","name":"ECMS Faculty Types"},"faculty-tag":{"linked":["RPO<\/a>"],"unlinked":["RPO<\/span>"],"slug":"faculty-tag","name":"ECMS Faculty Tags"}},"series_order":"","mfb_rest_fields":["title","author","featured_img","coauthors","author_meta","relative_dates","absolute_dates","absolute_dates_time","featured_img_caption","tax_additional","series_order"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esm.rochester.edu\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ecms-faculty\/2227","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esm.rochester.edu\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ecms-faculty"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esm.rochester.edu\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ecms-faculty"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.esm.rochester.edu\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ecms-faculty\/2227\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32306,"href":"https:\/\/www.esm.rochester.edu\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ecms-faculty\/2227\/revisions\/32306"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esm.rochester.edu\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27541"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esm.rochester.edu\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2227"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"faculty-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esm.rochester.edu\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faculty-category?post=2227"},{"taxonomy":"faculty-instrument","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esm.rochester.edu\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faculty-instrument?post=2227"},{"taxonomy":"faculty-department","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esm.rochester.edu\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faculty-department?post=2227"},{"taxonomy":"faculty-ensemble","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esm.rochester.edu\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faculty-ensemble?post=2227"},{"taxonomy":"faculty-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esm.rochester.edu\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faculty-type?post=2227"},{"taxonomy":"faculty-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esm.rochester.edu\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faculty-tag?post=2227"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
