Event Detail

This undergraduate honors recital represents a culmination of the work Sophia has developed on the trumpet over the course of the pandemic. This concert will showcase a variety of tone colors on the trumpet, from triumphant to alone.  She took inspiration from indecision, as experiencing college during a pandemic caused her to feel uncertainty about the future.  She has used trumpet during these times of doubt to move toward present-minded thinking and confidence—the music she created became something tangible in a time of unknowns.  The works in this recital are: Air de Bravoure by Andre Jolivét, Concerto for Trumpet and Piano by Alexander Arutunian, Sonata for Trumpet and Piano by Eric Ewazen, and two new jazz pieces: Seascape and Sunflower Ridge composed by current UC San Diego student, Gino Calgaro.  She will be accompanied by Kyle Adam Blair on the piano for the classical portions of the recital.
