Harken back to late 17th-century Italy with virtuosic music for the trumpet. For centuries, the trumpet has been an instrument of war and a symbol of political power. The warring Italians lead the charge in enriching the role of the trumpet to also be a voice of beauty and artistic expression amidst the flourishing artistic and cultural landscape of the Italian Renaissance and Baroque. This program features a small sampling of the vast quantity of Italian music that survives from favorite composers like Arcangelo Corelli and Giuseppe Torelli, and lesser-known gems by composers such as Giovanni Grossi and Maurizio Cazzati.
