PORT ANGELES — The final concert of the Maier Hall Concert Series on Tuesday, April 12, will bring a renowned young trumpeter to Peninsula College, organizers said.
Timothy Hudson will be the first brass performer to be featured in the Maier Hall Concert Series.
The concert will begin at 7 p.m. in Maier Performance Hall on the Port Angeles campus at 1502 E. Lauridsen Blvd.
Tickets are $15, or $5 for students.
The concert will include music from several historical periods, including works by Handel (“Water Music”), Henry Purcell, Marc-Antoine Charpentier, Aaron Copland and others.
The West Coast premiere of “Copper Lake Fantasy” by David Jones, Peninsula College faculty member, will be featured.
This work was composed expressly for Hudson when the two musicians were classmates at New England Conservatory.
Also on the program will be Jones’ “Elegia” (for solo piano), composed in memory of trumpeter Michael Tunnell, longtime member of the Louisville Orchestra. Tunnell was a friend and mentor to both Hudson and Jones.
Hudson, founder and leader of Carolina Brass, has held principal trumpet positions with the Knoxville Symphony, State of Mexico Symphony Orchestra and Chamber Orchestra of Northern New York.
He has performed with the Oslo Philharmonic, Fort Wayne Philharmonic, North Carolina Symphony, International Orchestra and Camerata Chamber Orchestra as well as in solo concerts.

He has taught at Gardner-Webb University in North Carolina and presented clinics and master classes internationally.
As an artist/educator, he has worked across the United States, Mexico, England, New Zealand, the Far East and Israel.
