Sound All Around: Trumpet

Bring your ears and imagination, and let The Philadelphia Orchestra take you on a musical ride you won’t forget!

The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra by Benjamin Britten is the perfect way to explore the amazing sounds of an orchestra. With cheerful melodies, exciting rhythms, and a touch of musical magic, this piece introduces each section of the orchestra—strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion—one by one. Britten wrote this piece to help young listeners discover the joy of music, and it’s still doing that today.
