Pianist

What, pray tell, is a cornet? One could say it's the soft, rounded sister of the radiant trumpet. Where the trumpet blares, the cornet caresses. French composers, in particular, employ it when a brass instrument's color is needed, perhaps for a love scene, a painful farewell, a yearning cantilena. For the first time, our principal trumpeter Sandro Hirsch, together with his colleagues, presents the cornet in a chamber concert with the Beethoven Orchestra, with two works for the same instrumentation: Danish and French Romanticism, flanked by the quintessential Impressionist string quartet: Ravel's only, mysterious, and rhythmically pulsating String Quartet in F major.
