Thurber trombonist taking her talents to McGill University
A Lindsay Thurber student has been accepted into McGill University’s Schulich School of Music.
The Montreal-based institution will welcome recent Thurber grad Malena Lorenson, a bass trombonist. She will attend on a $6,000/year scholarship for her undergraduate music degree, and a $4,000 entrance scholarship.
“The school has a great international reputation and I’ll be able to build a lot of connections there,” says Lorenson. “The bass trombone teacher there is really great.”
An active participant in Thurber’s band program, Lorenson is also a long-time member of the Red Deer Royals, where she currently holds the title of concertmaster.
