I remember it was early this year, I was looking up euphonium solos to play for my juries/auditions after I transfer (I am a 3rd year junior college student) when I came across this masterpiece. It is SO compelling and very challenging, but most importantly it is beautiful. This piece really shows off the Euphonium and it's capabilities, something that does not happen very often. I was talking to my private lesson teacher about it and he also enjoyed it. ;) Demondre, I do not know if you will ever see this comment but if you do, keep on doing what you are doing. You are one of my biggest inspirations musically, and your talent is superb. Perhaps with enough practice and dedication I will be able to play this piece for my senior recital!!!!
I am so happy to see this. I fell in love with the piece listening to your other video with the music, and I had always wanted to watch him play it. Such a brilliant sound.
Euphonium solo with band accompany - NOT band solo with euphonium accompany - band needs to play quieter so that the intricacies that the soloist is playing can be heard in all detail
The band sounds like crap for an adult band they need to get their shit together im in a high school band and we sound better than this band is too quiet i have seen the music for the band on this song their are so many parts that needed to be played but they were not and this band had too many errors the Euphonium soloist is fine its just the band.
I think you saying that is quite ignorant. The band is not the main focus in the piece. It’s not to be loader that the soloist. Also when the soloist is out you hear the band ramping up the dynamics.
(For myself) 09:23 for Movement II 17:30 for Movement III This is an absolutely incredible performance of a fantastic work. Bravo to the composer and performer
He deserves way more attention. He is very much on par with Steven Mead, Bastien Baumet, David Childs and Anthony Calliet!!! This kind of virtuosic playing shouldn't be kept from the world!!!
Demondrae Thurman will be performing this with my college, the IPFW Wind Ensemble, in two weeks in Fort Wayne, IN. February 25th, at 7:00pm at the Rhinehart music building,
Best tone I've ever heard on a euph. absolutely moving.
If you haven't already you should check out Glenn Van Looy, he has some absolutely stunning tone and technical skill

Tears. Heart imploding with gratitude and love for the beauty. Thank you!!

Conner Kelly Demondrae has one of my favorite Euphonium sounds :)
he's the second Steven Mead
Demondrae's playing is always top! Love this concerto, so beautiful and powerful! Bravo.
Magnificent!
Those first movements remind me of Steven Meade and James Curnow. I love it!
I love it
Amazing
整個帥翻了,過癮!

Cameron Palmer this is the top level army band... You are not supposed to outplay the soloist in any setting
I think you saying that is quite ignorant. The band is not the main focus in the piece. It’s not to be loader that the soloist. Also when the soloist is out you hear the band ramping up the dynamics.
Cameron Palmer most if not all of these band soldiers have graduated from the top music universities
Dude wtf
(For myself)
09:23 for Movement II
17:30 for Movement III
This is an absolutely incredible performance of a fantastic work. Bravo to the composer and performer
So honored to say I was there in the front row. Incredible performance of a great piece!
He deserves way more attention. He is very much on par with Steven Mead, Bastien Baumet, David Childs and Anthony Calliet!!! This kind of virtuosic playing shouldn't be kept from the world!!!
He is the best United States Euphonium player and so humble about it!

I was brought to actual tears just by listening to this for a band assignment. I didnt know how truly beautiful a euphonium could sound until now.
Neuvěřitelné!!!!!!! BRAVO!!!!!!
Excellent!
I'm mad at who disliked this
Awesome!!
if only....
A great performance Demondrae
Band is a poor choice to support such a fine player
