Join Adam Zinatelli and Akiko Tominata for the album launch of ‘Fifteen Feet Closer to the Sky’! This programme showcases the work of two living Canadian composers, William Rowson (b. 1977) and Dorothy Chang (b. 1970). Framing their new works (in Chang’s case a brand-new commission) with works from the mid-20th century provides context as to what is new and unique about their voices, while also showcasing the more sensitive side of the trumpet, which often takes a backseat to the power that often stays in the listener’s mind.

On November 10th 2023, my debut solo recording will be released. ‘Fifteen Feet Closer to the Sky’ is composed entirely of premiere recordings of works for trumpet alone, multiple trumpets, and trumpet and piano, all written within the span of my career.

The Montréal International Horn Festival is happy to gather the CNBP, the American Horn Quartet and the MSO horns, international soloist David Cooper, and natural horn player Ursula Paludan Monberg in a delightful program.

The Canadian National Brass Project is true Canadiana. Drawing from the title chairs of fifteen North American orchestras and under the artistic leadership of Canada’s premiere horn soloist James Sommerville, this special collaboration shines a light on Canada’s foremost players and composers. The project returns to Chamberfest with a cleverly curated program bolstered by impeccable technique. Featuring both humorous and powerful interpretations of well-loved classics, work by contemporary composers, and some choral music reimagined for horns, the performance includes Canadian composer Nicole Lizée’s skittishly evocative How to Fake Your Own Death (2015) and Canadian Kevin Lau’s cinematically adventurous CAGE (2016). Like a playfully energizing wind, this all-star brass ensemble promises to deliver a lively and refreshing blast of a concert!
