Trumpet Extravaganza

Trinity Concert Band

Award winning Trinity Concert Band are returning to the beautiful venue of Reading University Great Hall for our Autumn Concert. The concert will feature the Trumpet Concerto in A-flat major by Alexander Arutiunian. The Concerto is a virtuoso showpiece and an energetic powerhouse of Eastern European lyricism and harmonic textures from the Armenian composer. It will feature a guest trumpet player – Paul Speed. Paul has played for many orchestras including Hong Kong Philharmonic, London Concert Orchestra, New London Sinfonia, Orchestra of St Johns, Smith Square, Britten Sinfonia and the Philharmonie der Nationen in Germany. Of course we are lucky to also have Paul as the Musical Director of our band!

We will have a great selection of other music including the exciting Danzon No. 2 by Arturo Marquez, made famous by Gustavo Dudamel and the Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra, arranged for wind band; Symphonic Marches by John Williams, Sabre Dance by Khachaturian and Nimrod from the Enigma Variations by Elgar.
