The Westchester Band, under the baton of Maestro Alan Hollander, will continue its summer concert series in Chase Park on Thursday, Aug. 1st, at 8 p.m.
Soloist will be Frank Huber, a freelance trumpet player in the metro area, who will play the Arutun-ian trumpet concerto. Huber is one of the young professional musicians who performs regularly with the ensemble. He began playing trumpet with the band in high school. He regularly plays different styles of music ranging from orchestral to Latin jazz. He is currently finishing his undergraduate degree in music performance at the Aaron Copland School of Music at Queens College. He plans on continu- ing his education in music performance as well as nonprofit arts management.
The Arutunian concerto is a staple of the literature for solo trumpet mixing demanding technique with lyrical lines and also calling for great endurance. The wind accompaniment is interactive with the soloist offering many "soli" opportunities for the accompanying players.
Concertgoers are urged to bring blankets and/or lounge chairs for seating. The concerts are sponsored by Scarsdale Department of Parks and Recreation and the Friends of the Westchester Band, a nonprofit group that accepts donations to support the band. The rain location will be the Scarsdale High School auditorium.
