The Four Paper Clips: NEC Honors Ensemble

Each year, an audition committee of professional musicians and faculty selects a few exceptional student ensembles to represent the NEC Honors Ensemble Program. The ensembles work with a faculty coach and are given an opportunity to perform a spring recital in NEC's Jordan Hall.

The Four Paper Clips started performing as a chamber ensemble in September of 2021 at the New England Conservatory of Music. The group consists of Jaehan Kim, Lukas Helsel, Noah Nichilo (tenor trombonists), and Changwon Park (bass trombone). Coached by the Boston Symphony Orchestra bass trombonist, James Markey, they have worked together to create a diverse range of repertoire, and are continuing to do so throughout the remainder of the fall season. Members of the quartet are previous winners and finalists of competitions such as ITF, ATW, Jeju, and Swisstbone. Recently the ensemble was chosen to be in the NEC Honors Ensemble Program representing the school in a variety of upcoming community efforts and chamber performances.

This concert will be in-person and also livestreamed.
