The Viva Trumpet! concert is a very special event. At the Zaryadye Concert Hall there will meet wonderful trumpeters – eminent masters, soloists and leaders of groups in top symphony orchestras, as well as their younger colleagues who are keeping up the best traditions of brass playing.
The participants of the concert include Matthias Höfs, the leader of the world-famed German Brass ensemble, virtuoso soloist Sergei Nakariakov, the principals of the NPR trumpet group Kirill Soldatov and Alexander Bakharev, the soloist of the Mariinsky Theater Orchestra Timur Martynov, the first trumpet of the Russian National Orchestra Vladislav Lavrik, the principal of the trumpet group of the Bolshoi Theater Orchestra Evgeny Guryev, the MusicAeterna orchestra soloist Pavel Kurdakov, and also 15-year-old Ilyas Nevretdinov, a grant-holder of the Vladimir Spivakov Charity Foundation and Kirill Soldatov's student, and 16-year-old Alexander Rublev, an awardee of international competitions. Ten marvelous musicians will gather to perform together with the National Philharmonic Orchestra of Russia under the baton of Timur Zangiev.
Part I will feature the Russian premiere of The Trumpets Shall Sound, a new work by the composer and jazzman Wolf Kerschek (b. 1969). The title of the Concerto paraphrases the famous biblical line from 1 Corinthians, referring to the angelic trumpet which will announce the resurrection from the dead. The score, which comprises not only bright virtuoso solos but also a short performance, has been earlier successfully played with Mattias Höfs's participation in Japan and Germany (in Hamburg where the trumpeter and the composer are living), and also recorded. Kerschek's novelty will be given in Moscow within a classical music program: Wagner's Overture to Der fliegende Holländer (The Flying Dutchman) and the Czech classic Leoš Janáček's Sinfonietta.
