UCM trumpet professor Alan Wenger will premiere a new composition for trumpet and piano composed by faculty colleague Eric Honour on the new music recital at the International Trumpet Guild Conference in Sydney, Australia in July 2010. Wenger says, “I am excited to showcase Eric’s great abilities and share his music with an international audience.”  The International Trumpet Guild is the foremost association for trumpet in the world, and its annual conference is one of the preeminent venues worldwide for trumpet performance.  According to the ITG website, “ITG’s more than 6,000 members represent 64 countries and include professional and amateur performers, teachers, students, manufacturers, publishers, and others interested in belonging to an organization dedicated to the trumpet profession.”  Honour says, “it’s very exciting for Alan’s proposal to be accepted by the ITG review board, and I can’t wait to compose the work.  Alan’s reputation in the international trumpet community continues to grow each year, and it’s a tremendous privilege for me to be able to work with such an outstanding performer in creating new music.”
