Alison Balsom is a fantastic trumpeter! I have most of her albums and it would be a treat to get her autograph on one of her CDs. It seems like this summit is aimed at fellow trumpet players though, of which I am certainly not.

What a stunning line-up!

Cool!

No mention of who's conducting, though.

That's terrific! Wouldn't it be great if KUSC broadcast those Bowl dates?

I would love to go to this. Look like it’ll be amazing.

Yeah I wondered about this too.  Definitely not Dudamel as it’s between seasons.  Maybe David Newman!  Could also just be one of the regular LA Phil assistant conductors though.

[ricsim88 244]

On the Hollywood bowl event calendar, Dudamel is listed as conductor. No program though. Except that we know the concerto for trumpet will be performed. My gut feeling tells me there will be more Williams on this concert. It’s a trumpet summit after all.

 I decided to skip Tanglewood this year, and go there instead. It’ll be fun to hang out with other trumpet players, and listen to fantastic concerts.

90 minutes for fucking lunch?! I'm lucky if I get 30, and it's not paid time!! FFS!

Alison Balsom has a lovely set of lungs to play trumpet.
