About

THE FACTORY SECONDS BRASS TRIO consists of Jack Sutte, Trumpet, Jesse McCormick, Horn, and Richard Stout, Trombone. Each occupies the Second Chair position in their respective section with The Cleveland Orchestra, and all are faculty members at Baldwin Wallace Conservatory. Established in 2013, the group brings a distinctive voice into brass chamber music.

The trio has performed in settings from concert halls to warehouses:  from churches to restaurants and bars. They have been presented on local and regional chamber music series and as guests at universities across the United States. The trio has twice appeared as featured soloists at Carnegie Hall, including appearing with the Interlochen Arts Academy.

Transcribing and performing a continually growing body of early music and seeking out collaborations with composers have been two key areas of focus for FSBT. Factory Seconds has premiered numerous works by a range of composers including David Loeb, Clint Needham, Norman Sherman and Robert Pound. Esin Gunduz and Matthew Barbier have written pieces for electronics and the trio. Upcoming premiers include works by Joel Love, Paul Rudy, and Jesse Jones.

Factory Seconds Brass Trio has numerous recording credits. A Centaur release, Distant Carillons, contains music of David Loeb for trio and piano, with pianist Christina Dahl. Additionally, the group has an upcoming release of American music as well as a subsequent release of European trio music. Future recording plans include early music, music of JS Bach, and recordings of the new works the trio has premiered.

The trio is also involved in the community through outreach programs and presenting family programs. Factory Seconds always includes educational outreach in its tours, and has worked with high school and junior high school students in many states. The trio has presented interactive concerts for young children in its Musical Passports series, including The Art Of Poulenc, a musical story told with children’s art.

Reviews

[G]reat ensemble … spot-on intonation coupled with the terrific acoustics of the church made for wonderful music-making.

—Classical Voice of North Carolina


The hallmark of Factory Seconds, in fact, is that welcome combination of technical perfection, alert and creative intelligence, and artistic adventurousness…

It is amazing the full sound and harmony that is created by only three instruments. Every musician had a very unique part, and it came together very beautifully

—The Dickinsonian


The FSBT residency at Baldwin Wallace has been an incredibly educational and engaging experience for students and faculty alike.
