Trumpeter Ashley Hall and pianist Dr. R. Wayne Gallops will
present a fun and engaging evening of music written for the cornet, which was
one of the primary forms of entertainment in America in the early twentieth
century.
Cornet soloists like Jules Levy and Herbert L. Clarke, were the pop
stars of the day, drawing huge crowds of people to witness their mind-boggling
virtuosity, technique and artistry. This program will consist of colorful
and virtuosic works for the cornet from the United States, France and England
and will explore the variety of colors that the cornet is capable of
producing.
Ashley is originally from Wytheville, Virginia, is the
principal trumpeter of the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra, and is an
internationally recognized trumpet soloist. Dr. R. Wayne Gallops serves as
Director of Bands and Music Education at Radford University and has recorded
with numerous classical / jazz ensembles and artists.
