Modern masterpieces for brass

Described as ‘the cleanest, subtlest trumpeter on earth’ by The Times, Swedish trumpet virtuoso Håkan Hardenberger is tireless in his quest to explore all the possibilities of his instrument.  

He has worked with countless contemporary composers to the repertoire for his instrument. Above all else his love of brass music is contagious, and he brings all his charisma and energy to this fascinating program.   

Bernstein’s swaggering Suite from West Side Story is the showstopper, but it’s just one element in an unforgettable concert. 

Expect a night full of beautiful contrasts. Moments that move you with their power. Or reveal unexpected softness, where you feel a deep connection to the players. Don’t miss Håkan Hardenberger and our musicians as they make the City Recital Hall glow incandescent with incredible music.
