Canadian Brass is pleased to announce that Brandon
Ridenour has just joined the ranks of their
“Trumpet Dream Team”. In his fourth year
at the Juilliard School of Music, he has already been
recognized as a fine soloist, winning the 2006 International
Trumpet Guild Conference solo
competition.
The Canadian Brass first met Brandon in the summer of
2005 during their annual residency at the Music Academy
of the West in Santa Barbara. Immediately recognizing
his outstanding classical performance, it was a surprise
and pleasure for the members of the Brass to hear his
abilities in the jazz idiom. Brandon’s flexibility
in performing styles makes him an ideal choice to join
the Brass on stage.
Brandon’s first two engagements as part of the
Trumpet Dream Team will take him to Poland at the end
of August for a special festival appearance, followed
by a September tour marking the Brass’ long-awaited
return to China, and a Canada tour. Canadian Brass welcomes
Brandon to the experience of playing for their wonderful
friends and fans the world over.
