Aaron Azunda Akugbo spotlights the trumpet, telling stories that whisper, sing, and soar. This all-American programme crackles with momentum, celebrating trailblazing African American composers. George Walker and Florence Price offer moments of intimate reflection, while Jessie Montgomery and Eric Ewazen ignite with colour, drive, and lift. Bernstein’s West Side Story Suite hits you with full force, bold, electric, and exhilarating.
