Perspective - Fires, Invasion, and Splendor: a Baroque Trumpet's Life

Historically, the trumpet played the all-important role in civic life of signaling alarm--from invading armies to fires ranging within city walls. But gradually, in musical terms, it shed earthly connections to herald heavenly splendor. In this Perspective, Seattle-based baroque trumpeter Kris Kwapis talks about her instruments and the repertoire she loves to perform. Kris Kwapis appears regularly as soloist and principal trumpet with period-instrument ensembles across North America, including Portland Baroque Orchestra, Early Music Vancouver, Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra, Tafelmusik, and Bach Collegium San Diego. A Grammy-nominated artist, Kris has recorded on Kleos, Naxos, ReZound, Musica Omnia and Dorian labels and her playing has been broadcast live on CBC, WNYC, WQED (Pittsburgh), Portland All-Classical (KQAC), Sunday Baroque and Wisconsin Public Radio. Kris is currently a faculty member at Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music Historical Performance Institute and at her home in Seattle. When not immersed in music, she is active as a visual artist in the encaustic medium.
