Orchestra principal trumpeter Michael Sachs
and
Empire Brass trumpeter Marc Reese shared a
recital at Lynn University on January 27th. Both played
solo works with artist faculty pianist Lisa Leonard
as well as solos with Lynn's trumpet ensemble.
The trumpet ensemble opened the concert with a tight and
expressive rendition of Ewazen's Fantasia for 7
Trumpets. Sachs stunned the audience with the power and
beauty of both the Tamberg Concerto and Torelli Sonata
while Reese's big, beautiful tone resonated through
Hansen's Sonata. Sachs' performance of the Altenburg was
immediately followed by Bold, Blue and Bright, a new
piece commissioned by Reese for the same instrumentation
as the Altenburg, written by James Stephenson III
(featured composer at the 2007 ITG conference).
The concert concluded with Reese conducting David
Hickman's 12 trumpet arrangement of Goedicke's Concert
Etude. At the concert's conclusion the capacity crowd
showed it's appreciation for this rare treat with an
immediate standing ovation.
Marc Reese is the head of the brass department and
assistant dean of the
Conservatory of Music at Lynn University. |
