A concert hall, an art museum, a city park - all places where Tyrone Williamson can be found performing trumpet. Tyrone has a passion for bringing music to community spaces. During high school Tyrone traveled to senior centers and primary schools to perform carols and pep tunes with fellow artists. Tyrone also arranged holiday carols and performed with a brass quintet to open for the winter concert of  his high school band during his senior year. Community performance is close to his heart, and he plans to create an organization to connect young professional orchestral musicians with communities that have less access to orchestral music by the end of his undergraduate studies.

Tyrone has performed at many venues across the country. During his junior year of high school he performed concerts in Indianapolis with the Honor Band of America and in Rose Hall of Jazz at Lincoln Center at the Essentially Ellington Jazz competition. Tyrone has also attended and performed at music festivals such as Cannon Music Camp, Brevard Music Festival, UNC Jazz Camp, and Lamar Stringfield Orchestra. During the summer of 2020, Tyrone was a cast member and soloist in the musical Voices of Carmen directed by CJay Philip.

Tyrone is enthusiastic to share his passion of playing music with young musicians. He has taught private lessons to students ranging from beginning to intermediate level on the trumpet. Tyrone has also given clinics to middle school brass players.

Currently studying at Peabody Conservatory of Music, Tyrone is a junior majoring in Orchestral Trumpet Performance. He has received private instruction from Anthony Prisk, Billy Hunter, and Dave Bilger. This fall he will be continuing his studies with Anthony Prisk and Billy Gerlach.
