PORT ANGELES — Trumpeter Timothy Hudson will be the featured guest during Tuesday’s Maier Hall Concert Series season finale.
The concert will begin at 7 p.m. at Maier Performance Hall at Peninsula College, 1502 E. Lauridsen Blvd.
Tickets are $15 for the general public and $5 for students with valid identification.
Hudson is the first brass performer to be featured on the Maier Hall Concert Series, according to organizers.
He will be accompanied by pianist David Jones.
Carolina Brass
Hudson is the founder and leader of Carolina Brass, a musical ensemble that performs classical recitals and pops concerts.
He also has held principal trumpet positions with the Knoxville Symphony, New Mexico Symphony Orchestra and Chamber Orchestra of Northern New York, and has performed with the Oslo Philharmonic, Fort Wayne Philharmonic, North Carolina Symphony, International Orchestra and Camerata Chamber Orchestra.
Hudson teaches at Gardner-Webb University in North Carolina and offers clinics and master classes around the world.
As an artist and educator, he has worked across the United States and in Mexico, England, New Zealand, the Far East and Israel.
His recital Tuesday will include a variety of music from several historical periods, including works by George Frideric Handel, Henry Purcell, Marc-Antoine Charpentier and Aaron Copland.
The West Coast premiere of “Copper Lake Fantasy” by Jones will be featured.
Jones composed it for Hudson when the two musicians were classmates at New England Conservatory.
Also on the program will be “Elegia,” composed in memory of trumpeter Michael Tunnell, longtime member of the Louisville Orchestra.
Tunnell was a friend and mentor to both Hudson and Jones, they said.
Proceeds will benefit the Peninsula College Foundation, which provides support for Peninsula College students and programs through endowed scholarships and donor-designated giving, and delivers additional program and student support through fundraising efforts.
