Sudbury Symphony Concerts

Since moving back to Sudbury, I have had the pleasure of playing with the Sudbury Symphony Orchestra as the third trumpet part for several performances. The weekend before last was opening night for the 2024/2025 concert season for the Orchestra. There were two pieces with a third trumpet part: the Nimrod Variation by Elgar, and Finlandia by Sibelius. There was a matinee performance at 2pm and evening concert at 7:30pm.

Rossini Barber of Seville Overture

Beethoven Symphony No. 5, 1st movement

Mozart Symphony 41 Finale

Strauss Jr. An der schönen blauen Donau

Bizet Habanera

Pachelbel Canon in D

Elgar Nimrod variation

Sibelius Finlandia

Brahms Symphony No. 2, Allegro con spirito

2) Celebrating John Williams (April 2024)

This was a concert packed with very difficult music that required a lot of endurance: with even the third trumpet part reaching high C several times in the Jurassic Park theme song! In order to have the lip strength to play this program, I built up strength by playing 3 hours a day for a month and a half before the concert.
