An Insider's Look at LJMS

What Demarre McGill, flautist, says about his brother

Published in SummerFestArtist News by KBrailean Print 

I met Demarre McGill last night after the Chopin Celebration - which was wonderful.  He's a very nice guy. He's from Chicago, like me, and he's not shy; as you will see.

I, of course, asked him if he was related to Anthony McGill, clarinetist, who played at President Obama's inauguration; and he said that he was. Somebody asked him if he looks like Anthony; and he said, "Well, I'm actually better looking; but he played at the inauguration so he's ahead." See for yourself.
