JUSTIN DREW is entering his third year on faculty at the University of Maryland School of Music, where he serves as lecturer of horn, the course coordinator of the newly formed Chamber Brass Program and serves as the director of the University of Maryland Horn Choir. A busy freelance performer, he serves as the solo horn for Arena Stage, Third Horn of the National Philharmonic, Principal Horn of the Gourmet Symphony, Second Horn of the Apollo Orchestra and appears frequently with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and the Maryland Symphony Orchestra. He has also performed with the National Symphony Orchestra and numerous groups up and down the East Coast.

Equally at home as a chamber musician, Drew performs on occasion with the Barclay Brass, one of DC’s premier brass ensembles. From 2012 to 2018, he toured across the U.S. with the Rodney Marsalis Philadelphia Big Brass. In 2015, he served as the hornist for a brass quintet residency held at the University of Maine. He has also performed with Boston Brass, Carolina Brass, and he has joined many quintets with premier military musicians in the DC area.
Drew's first solo album, "The Corno D’amore," was released in February 2021 under the Tonsehen label. In March 2016, he recorded the album "Journeys" with the United States Air Force Band. In January 2014, he joined the Grammy-nominated Inscape Chamber Orchestra to record their second album, "American Aggregate" on the label Sono Luminus.
Drew received a Bachelor of Music degree at the University of Maine in 2005. He received his master’s in music performance in 2007 and his D.M.A. in music performance in 2019 from the University of Maryland School of Music. His principal teachers include University of Maryland School of Music Director Gregory Miller, Denise Tryon, Suzanne Gonsalves and Wanda Whitener. He has also been highly influenced by studies with William VerMeulen, James Ross, Eric Ruske and Phil Munds.

He has also performed with Music of the Baroque in Chicago, Chicago Chamber Musicians and the Grand Teton Music Festival.
Guilford is a graduate of the New England Conservatory. His career has included a national tour of the Broadway musical Les Miserables, the motion picture soundtrack for the film Predator II, and fellowships with Tanglewood and the Los Angeles Philharmonic Institute. He has been a featured soloist with the National Symphony, the Arlington Symphony, the U.S. Army Band & Orchestra and the Harvard University Band. His solo and chamber recordings, "The Road Not Taken" with The Washington Trombone Ensemble and "Brass Trios" with the University of Maryland Brass Trio, have been received to worldwide critical acclaim.
A senior lecturer at the University of Maryland School of Music, Guilford serves as trombone studio chair. Many of his former students enjoy successful careers as performers and educators.
