Welcome Joshua Haake!
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Symphony No. 41 in C Major
Alexander Arutiunian: Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra,
Joshua Haake soloist
Zoltán Kodály: Dances of Galánta
The West Valley Symphony’s own Joshua Haake, Principal Trumpet, will perform Alexander Arutiunian’s Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra, the Armenian composer’s sixth composition written in 1949-1950. We have heard how Joshua‘s trumpet playing blends so beautifully in the West Valley Symphony Orchestra sound. Now we will hear his sound shine when he steps out front and center as the soloist in a rare Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra.
