We get to see the spectacle every four years around this time of year. We have the opportunity to see those who have practiced their craft for years and are among the best. We have that same opportunity with the Ellsworth Smith Trumpet Competition. Every four years, this competition, is held and sponsored by the International Trumpet Guild. The event was held at the University of Alabama's School of Music this time around.
Finalists included:
Tessa Ellis
Matyas Daniel Fieszl
Samuel Huss
Huw Morgan
Brent Proseus
Marc Sutton
The final round was performed with orchestra. The pieces were Evensong by Stephen Gryc and Jacques Hetu Trumpet Concerto. Huw Morgan prevailed and was the winner this time. The performances are excellent and well worth checking out the attached video.
