2022 North American Baroque Trumpet Performance Competition Registration
The competition is open to all trumpeters age 30 and under as of April 11, 2022. All competitors must play two pieces:
- The required piece is Giovanni Buonaventura Viviani's Sonata No. 1, to be played at A=415 in the crook of C
- A second self-chosen work. If the second work is an accompanied work, it must be performed with accompaniment, and at A = 415. A PDF of the accompaniment should be uploaded with the competitor's application.
The application fee shall be $35 and all competitors must be members of the Historic Brass Society. Students may join HBS for $35 in dues at HistoricBrass.org.
Competitors will have the option playing with or without vent holes. The adjudicators will be experienced practitioners who recognize the challenge of playing with and without vent holes, as well as the added difficult imposed by certain repertoire.
A pre-screen recording of both the required piece and self-chosen work must be provided with the competitors application. These should be linked as two separate MP3 files in the following format: CompetitorName_PieceTitle.MP3. If using platforms like Youtube or SoundCloud, please title your posts similarly: Competitor Name - Piece Title.
Applications for the competition are due January 15, 2022.
Competitors invited the live round of competition will be notified by February 1, 2022.
