Brent Trubia, viola & piano

6/16/2016

 
Picture
Brent is originally from Centereach, Long Island, New York, and has been in Wilmington for the past 4 years, currently in his senior year at UNCW for his BA in Piano. He teaches Violin and Piano at his sister Meredith's studio, Port City Music in the Ogden area. In addition to the viola, he also plays the violin, piano and pipe organ. He plays Viola in the Tallis Chamber Orchestra, and he's a member of the choir at St. Paul's Episcopal Church.

When he's not at school, performing, or teaching, he's busy tuning and working on pianos, as well as collecting them. He currently has an inventory of 10 pianos for sale, with another 7 in storage for personal use. About his compulsion for collecting pianos, Brent says "It's a sickness, and I can't help it, nor do I need curing!"

When asked about a memorable experience of playing in the symphony, he recalls, "On one of the recent Christmas concerts, I was playing the keyboard on a Baroque piece that was about 20 minutes long. I had left my music on the keyboard from that morning's dress rehearsal. You might be able to guess where this is going. When I sat down at the keyboard, there was no music in front of me. I could have sworn I left it there! So about 5 minutes prior to the start of the concert, I told Dr. Errante. We ran all over backstage, asking stage crew, looking under tables, under chairs, and then... I found it... in my Viola case! Clearly, I'd made the right choice and took it with me that morning. Yeah, too bad I didn't remember I'd done that!"

So, if you get a chance to see this young, talented musician perform, be sure you don't pass it up! You will be delighted.

Do you have a commercial location where your for sale pianos can be seen. Or how do you show your wares? I have a friend who is interested in buying a piano.

Hello Marian,

I'm sorry for only replying to this message now, but I had no idea these comments were, and never received a notification for any! If I can still help you find a piano, I'd be happy to help! Check out my page on Facebook @Capefearpianoshop, and feel free to call or email me.

Hello Jan,

I just left you a voicemail. I'm sorry for only replying now. I have only recently discovered this list of comments and had no idea it existed, nor did I ever receive a notification from anyone. Please let me know if I can do help you find a piano.

Thank you

Hello,

My name is Dennis Cumbow, I am a music teacher in Bristol Tennessee. I am getting married on Topsail Island @ 6:00 on June 16th. I am looking for a cellist and violinist/viola to play on a song I wrote for my bride to be, and possible a classical piece for while people gather. The wedding is very short and casual and will be on the beach. Please let me know if you are interested or if you know someone who may be, and let me know what your price would be. The music is pretty simple, should be easy. I’ll be playing piano/keyboard. Feel free to call me 276 791 2804

Thanks!
Dennis Cumbow

Hello Dennis. I hope you found someone to play for your wedding. I'm sorry I did not get properly notified of your comment here, I had no idea this was still active. Just wanted to officially reply now that I know this exists. All the best!

Looking for a third viola player to join Gardner and McWilliams with the Wilmington Choral Society in May...... a performance of the Brahms "Requiem".
Please let me know if you are interested. We'd love to share in your talents!
Dates are May 12/17. Thank you so much!

Hi Paula,

I only recently discovered this apparently active list of comments on my profile page, but had no idea nor ever received any notifications from any comment! So I'm sorry for the delay.

Looking at those dates for next May, I'm available the 12th, but I'm unfortunately already playing a gig that weekend, so I won't be available to help out for this one.

In the future, feel free to either FB message me, or email as well.

Thank you!

Good afternoon Mr. Trubia:
My name is Robert Marks and I am Director of Traditional Music Ministries at Trinity UMC in Southport, NC. I am also directing this year's Sea Notes Choral Society Christmas Concert. I am wearing both of those "hats" as I contact you today.
I need a violist for two different performances, December 7&8 for Sea Notes, and December 15 for the Trinity Christmas Cantata. My regular violist isn't available for either of those performances, so, I'm stuck without a violist.
I was wondering if you would be available for either or both of those performances? They are both paying gigs (if that helps). If you would email me at rmarks1107@gmail.com as to your availability, I would appreciate it very much.I will send you all of the information needed at that time. I look forward to hearing from you. (I didn't know if this was the correct forum to use, but it was the only one I found).
