The McGill Brothers

Learn about soloists Anthony and Demarre McGill!

Anthony, now Principal Clarinet of the NY Phil, and Demarre, Principal Flute of the Seattle Symphony, are classical superstars. Watch this video to learn about their journey and how they give back. 

As You Listen…

  • What obstacles did Anthony and Demarre overcome to play their instruments?

We are very excited to share their music with you! We welcome back Anthony next season and Demarre in May. Visit the concert events pages to learn more, get sneak peaks, and find out how you can watch!
