Meet JT
American trumpet performer, composer, teaching artist, and audio engineer John-Thomas (“JT”) Burson explores his lifelong passion for creating sounds across a diversity of arenas, including solo performances of his own music and playing and engineering studio recordings. Burson's recording studio in Acworth, Georgia serves the Atlanta area and remotely serves musicians and composers abroad.
Trumpeter
Equally at home with live orchestral and contemporary performance, Burson has collaborated or performed with Chicago’s Fulcrum Point New Music Project, the Flauto d'Amore Project, Festival Napa Valley, Aspen Music Festival, LA’s own Quintet Musica, and the Music Academy of the West, where he performed Mahler’s Second Symphony under the baton of Gustavo Dudamel. Television appearances include numerous segments on CBS’s “Late Late Show” with Sunset Blvd Brass, with independent and feature film projects in the works.
Mr. Burson works as a composer’s assistant with Mystery Ship Music, working alongside film composer Tim Jones.
Original compositions by JT are available on all major platforms, including Spotify, iTunes, Tidal, and YouTube.
Composer
Teaching Artist
“It is my primary goal as a teacher to help students achieve what they want to achieve. If I am able to guide you in growing refined technical skills and musical intuition, I believe you can move in the musical direction that most interests you. As musicians, we must have something to say to others, and it is my job to help you learn to articulate what you have to say in music.”
“Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent.”
— Victor Hugo
