Festival 2023

The 21st Festival of New Trumpet Music continues with an array of currently emerging and pioneering talent around the instrument. FONT Music’s program once again demonstrates the kaleidoscopically diverse musical universes that the trumpet creates and inhabits. A celebration of Dizzy Reece, produced by Jeremy Pelt, will take place alongside concerts from some of New York and the world’s most exciting voices on the trumpet — in New York live shows and in online recorded presentations.
