The Trumpet Shall Sound

The Matthias Höfs Trumpet Ensemble is made up of students and graduates from his trumpet class at the Hamburg University of Music and Theater. The trumpeters in this international ensemble include prize winners of international competitions, some of whom already hold top positions in leading symphony and opera orchestras such as the Berlin Philharmonic, the Tokyo Symphony, and the major German radio orchestras.

Highly acclaimed recordings by this exceptional ensemble have already been released on the Berlin Classics label. With its own arrangements and compositions, the ensemble offers a concert program that showcases all the timbres of a wide variety of trumpet instruments with music ranging from Baroque to blues.
