It's the church service that sounds like a concert! The music at this church is always concert-quality, and everyone is welcome to come. I'll be playing trumpet with my spouse, trumpeter Angela Gosse, in a program of music for two trumpets, organ and tympani. The program is part of the Installation Mass for the church's pastor, Bishop Andrew St. John (whose position will now be "Rector"). The program includes: "Fanfare for Organ and Brass" by Martin Bresnick, and other goodies by Eugene Gigout, William McKie, Herbert Howells, and Charles Wood. The organist is the very accomplished Claudia Dumschat. Church of the Transfiguration ("The Little Church Around the Corner") - One East 29th Street, New York. View the church's website here.

I'll be playing with One World Symphony. Conducted by Sung Jin Hong, One World Symphony has been dubbed "New York's Hippest Orchestra" by the critics. It's our season opener, an innovative program called "Uptown vs. Downtown" - Music by Puccini, Larson, Ives, Cage, Carter, Reich, Corigliano, and a world premiere by Jihwan Kim. I'll be playing principal trumpet for this concert, and will have the solo in Ives' Unanswered Question. The maestro is full of surprises, and these concerts are always a lot of fun for musicians & audience alike. Friday November 16th is 8pm in Brooklyn Heights (St. Ann & The Holy Trinity Church - corner of Montague & Clinton Streets). There is a 2nd performance on Sunday Nov. 18th at 4pm on the Upper West Side (Ansche Chesed Synagogue - corner of W. 100 Street & West End Avenue).
