The Voice of the Trumpet

World-class classical musicians who can convincingly play any genre are rare. Enter trumpeter Lucienne Renaudin Vary, who transforms opera arias, songs, and numbers from Broadway musicals into virtuoso showstoppers, proving that anything the human voice can do, so too can the trumpet. On her journey, she shows herself to be dazzlingly versatile, her silvery tone soaring in Donizetti and Vivaldi and swinging in Richard Rodgers. Handel, Gershwin, Offenbach, and Harold Arlen have never felt so comfortable in each other’s company.
