Ed Goldstein Education and Career
Ed Goldstein attended Northwestern High School (Baltimore) and proceeded to study Tuba at Peabody Conservatory in 1976. Ed Goldstein was known for his warmth, charisma, and infectious enthusiasm for bringing people together in the Baltimore music scene and beyond. He was a nice, decent man who encouraged artists at every level, from amateurs to stars. So famous, yet so modest, was Ed Goldstein. Ed has tremendous talent as a musician.
He also played the violin and piano and sang (he sang in the Temple choir every Saturday), but his true passion was the tuba. His musicality and his exceptionally trained ear have always impressed me. His enthusiasm for European classical music and American jazz was contagious. He demonstrated this by incorporating classical melodies into his jazz solos. Ed’s tuba playing may be heard in a wide variety of settings and ensembles, including brass bands, dixieland bands, the Morris Mechanic Theater, symphony orchestras, and the yearly visit of the Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey Circus to Baltimore.
