Thomson	The River
Tomasi	Trumpet Concerto
Arban	Fantasia on Carnival of Venice for Trumpet & Orchestra
Gould	Symphonette No. 4 ('Latin-American')

Thomson’s music for the documentary, The River, a film which focused on the abuses of America’s waterways, culminating in the catastrophic Mississippi River flood  of 1937. Video footage of this film will be  shown as this work is performed, with kind  permission granted by the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library.

The following two works for solo trumpet impressively showcase the virtuosity and incisive lyricism of this wonderful brass instrument. Morton Gould in Symphonette No. 4 makes use of the Latin-American idioms and dance forms such as the rhumba, tango, guaracha and conga that will enthrall you with its toe-tapping rhythms and infectiously pleasing melodies.

Prior to the HSO concert, ticket holders are eligible to attend Twilight Concerts by Junior Strings of Banyule & Robertson Youth Orchestra from 5.00-6.30pm, and the Heidelberg Wind Ensemble from 7.00 – 7.30pm.
