On Friday, February 12, President Tim Graham and Rotarian Harold Lumley presented a "big check" to Gerry Pagano on behalf of our club. A friend of Harold Lumley, Gerry is a St. Louis Symphony Orchestra trombonist and the founding member of the St. Louis Low Brass Collective, a 501(c)(3) organization that promotes education and performance for low-brass musicians throughout our region. Each year, the LBC brings top national artists to St. Louis for master classes, commissions both compositions and arrangements, and hosts an annual Gala concert. They also present a new trombone to a deserving music student; the Rotary Club of Webster Groves was pleased to contribute $500 to the LBC to help off-set the cost of this year's trombone.
