Peter Seymour height - How tall is Peter Seymour?

While a member of the Colorado Music Festival, Seymour and the cellist Eric Stephenson conceived of forming a chamber music group that would combine elements of jazz, classical and popular music. Their original idea was to come together two or three times a year in various cities around the US for a week-long music infusion with concert and education/outreach activities. They approached the flautist Greg Patillo and created Project Trio. In 2005, they gathered in Cleveland for a series of performances and music workshops for youth. Seymour continued to work as a sub for the Cleveland Orchestra but after Patillo placed a video on YouTube that became a viral success for its unique mix of beatboxing and flute, he was persuaded to move to New York City to join Patillo and Stephenson. Project Trio has since recorded three critically acclaimed albums and performed in concert halls, clubs, classrooms and music festivals around the world, including Kennedy Center, Brooklyn Academy of Music and South By Southwest. The group also continues to be active in music education.

Seymour earned his Bachelor of Music degree from the Cleveland Institute of Music and his Master of Music degree from Rice University, where he studied with Paul Ellison. While a student at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, he won the 1997 Down Beat Award for best jazz soloist. In college, Seymour participated in some of America's finest music festivals, including Music Academy of the West, Chautauqua Institution and the New York String Orchestra Seminar at Mannes College.
