Do you want to spice up your musical tastes and open your mind to a new, exciting genre? On January 26 and 27, ProMusica Chamber Orchestra presents Sound the Trumpet, a program made up entirely of expert trumpeters and performers.
The program features Tine Thing Helseth – a solo trumpeter who is rapidly becoming one of the most popular in the modern area – who joins an evening of impressive ProMusica acts. The curtain opens with two trumpet concertos: Franz Joseph Hayden’s 1796 Trumpet Conerto and James MacMillan’s 2010 Seraph, while the second act features Beethoven’s 1808 Symphony No. 6, a work that captures the natural beauty of Vienna, Austria.
The Sound the Trumpet Show features an evocative program with classically famous musical pieces and more recent, modern contemporary trumpet. The performances are a unique blend of historically loved music along with what trumpet concertos have grown into in today’s modern world.
Event Time and Information
Saturday, January 26 at 5:30 p.m. | Worthington United Methodist Church
Sunday, January 27 at 7:00 p.m. | Southern Theatre
