Liam Day

Liam Day played with the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra from 2009 to 2016 in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, and in 2016 moved back to New York City to serve as acting second trumpet with the New York Philharmonic for several months. As an acting member of the New York Philharmonic he performed extensively at Lincoln Center in NYC as well as residencies in Shanghai, China and Vail, Colorado.

While in the Asia-Pacific region, Liam toured Japan, Malaysia and Vietnam with the Malaysian Philharmonic as well as performing solo engagements in Bangkok, Melbourne and Singapore. Liam was also a teaching artist with the Malaysian Philharmonic Youth Orchestra and worked every year coaching Malaysia’s finest young brass section. In 2017, Liam is performing around the world in many different settings; including an onstage trumpet role in Aida with the San Francisco Opera, a solo tour to China, Thailand, Cambodia and Hong Kong representing The Juilliard School and many performances to come as acting Associate Principal trumpet with the Naples Philharmonic in Florida.

Teaching and playing go hand in hand with Liam’s school of trumpet playing. Before moving to Malaysia, he was a fellow with The Academy, a program of Carnegie Hall, the Juilliard School and the Weill Music Institute. As a teaching artist fellow with The Academy Liam honed his style of teaching with students at two vastly different New York City Public Schools. This experience instilled the importance of teaching to individuals and helping people to achieve their potential through music. Liam, a recipient of the Frieda and Harry Aronson Scholarship, received a Master of Music degree in trumpet from The Juilliard School in 2007. He graduated with a Bachelor of Music degree from the Cleveland Institute of Music in 2005, earning the Bernard Adelstein Award for excellence in trumpet.
