Maria Price - Solo Trumpet & Brass Quintet

I can provide my musical services as a solo trumpet, or as part of a brass quintet (2 trumpets, French horn, trombone, tuba). I will either perform the repertoire you have selected, or I can provide my own. I can work with you to create an arrangement of your choice for an additional cost.

To receive the most accurate quote, it is helpful to send:
-expected duration of performance
-music that will be played (do you have specific repertoire in mind?)
-number and duration of any rehearsals, if applicable

I am happy to work within your budget to find the best solution for your event.

Maria Price is a trumpet player currently based in the Seattle area. She is currently pursuing her PhD in Ethnomusicology at the University of Washington in Seattle.

Maria is originally from Boston, where she has played with the Brookline Symphony Orchestra, New England Philharmonic, Boston Chamber Symphony, and Waltham Symphony Orchestra. Maria plays in several brass quintets, and can provide a brass quintet for any event or ceremony.

Maria specializes as a solo trumpeter for weddings, church events, and other religious ceremonies. She also frequently plays in pit orchestras for musical theatre performances.

Maria received her Master of Music in Music Education from The Boston Conservatory in 2014. While at The Boston Conservatory, she studied trumpet with Steve Emery of the Boston Pops and Boston Symphony Orchestra. Maria returned to her alma mater to teach a course in Music Theory and Ear Training to Boston Conservatory graduate students in 2015.

Maria graduated Summa Cum Laude with a double major in Music Education and Music Performance from the University of Massachusetts Lowell in 2012. During this time, she studied with Joseph Foley, and served as principal trumpet of the UMass Lowell Orchestra and the UMass Lowell Wind Ensemble. She was awarded "Best Musician" by the UMass Lowell Marching Band during the (phone number hidden)1 season.

Detailed performance resume and live recordings available upon request.

Minimal set-up required.

For solo trumpet: 1 music stand is needed, 1 chair optional.

For brass quintet: 5 music stands and 5 chairs are needed.

Please note that for solo trumpet players, the nature of our instrument means that we require frequent breaks during a performance. For this reason it is often helpful to hire a trumpet player with some sort of accompanist, like a pianist. I can assist you with finding an accompanist if you would like. Please have this in mind when planning your event. With a brass quintet, the ensemble is arranged so that each player gets time to rest while the whole group is playing, making continuous playing possible and seamless.
