Trumpet Festival - Håkan Hardenberger

Description

The stage is dusted with stardust and the sound of brass as one of the world's finest trumpeters shows the trumpet in all its glory. “It's going to be a great concert, because we get to hear one of the world's best trumpeters. When I was young, he was one of the first I got to know, so this concert is of course something a little special for me. It's not often you get the chance to hear trumpeters of that calibre, so you should seize the opportunity!” - Kim Hansen, trumpet “The best trumpeter in the galaxy”. That is what critics call the Swedish trumpeter Håkan Hardenberger. Over a 40-year career he has expanded the boundaries of what the trumpet can do - and inspired composers to write new music for the instrument. At this concert you can experience Håkan Hardenberger in a programme that covers the whole spectrum of the brass instruments' cutting edge. From Hummel's classical world to the newest - and funniest - music for the trumpet. It will be a cornucopia of trumpet music - played and conducted by one of the world's best musicians.
