The Trumpet Studio of the UMass Amherst Department of Music & Dance, led by Professor Eric Berlin, will be well represented at the 2018 National Trumpet Competition. The annual event draws the best trumpeters from colleges and high schools from across the country.

From video auditions, Nathan French '18 (pictured at right) advanced as a soloist, and ten of his colleagues advanced in two trumpet ensembles to the semi-final rounds.

Along with the competition, the event features concerts and masterclasses with renowned performers and is an opportunity to commune with peers from around the U.S. The competition will take place in Denton, Texas on March 8-10. Wish them luck!
