From the medieval hunting horn (olifant) to the slide trumpet, the sound of brass has transformed and reinvented itself through the centuries — like chapters in a living story. This concert takes listeners on a journey from 15th-century fanfares and the drama of military calls to the elegance of Baroque music and the colourful soundscapes of Spain, England, and France. Along the way, we’ll encounter great composers such as Marc-Antoine Charpentier and Henry Purcell, alongside royal music and lively popular tunes — all showing how the trumpet has found its voice in different times and places.

The concert is designed to be lively, engaging, and family-friendly: with short introductions and interactive demonstrations that bring the instruments, their techniques, and their vibrant energy to life.

Each piece opens a window onto a world where music, history, and imagination meet. Step into this musical journey, where sound itself tells the story—inviting you to listen, discover, and be swept away.
