RPO Brass looking forward to Vizzutti visit

The brass section of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is certainly looking forward to the musical visit of one of the world's great trumpet virtuosos.

Vizzutti
 

The brass section of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is certainly looking forward to its forthcoming appearance with world renowned trumpet virtuoso Allen Vizzutti.

Amazing player

"He's an amazing player and world class musician, and all the brass players are counting down the days to hear him perform," Chris Evans, Director of Press and Marketing told 4BR.

Rare appearance

The rare concert appearance at London’s Cadogan Hall on the 17th October is also one the trumpeter is also looking forward too.

After just finishing a critically acclaimed tour of Italy, he told 4BR: "I’m thrilled to be performing with the RPO Brass, some of the finest brass players in the world."

Montreux

Preparations have begun for Allen’s visit with the brass section already tackling Bram Tovey’s ‘Pictures in the Smoke’ and Vizzutti’s ‘Fire Dance’ in between performances in Montreux to perform another challenging brassy score, Stravinsky’s epic, ‘The Rite of Spring’.
