Elijah Spurbeck

Elijah Spurbeck is an alternate tenor trombonist in his first season with the St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra. A rising junior at Providence Academy, Spurbeck first began playing trombone in the third grade, where he quickly showed great promise and readily developed a deep love for music. He credits much of his early musical growth to his middle school band director, Mr. Matthew Janssen, and has since studied under Mr. Tyler Vahldick. He currently studies under Ms. Amanda Stewart, Associate Principal Trombone of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra.  

Spurbeck counts it as a great honor and blessing to join the YO and looks forward to growing both musically and collaboratively through this experience
