Sound All Around: Trumpet

Ta-da! The trumpet is here and it’s time to celebrate!

This instrument is the spotlight-stealer of the brass family and is one of the most recognizable sounds in an orchestra—maybe even the whole world. Whether it’s a cheerful “toot,” a bold “blare,” or a triumphant “ta-da!” the trumpet knows how to grab attention and bring music to life. It’s loud, it’s proud, and it’s always ready to lead the way. Get ready to be dazzled by this beloved instrument with The Philadelphia Orchestra.
