About the Artists

Dr. Jacob Dalager is an international crossover soloist, orchestral and chamber musician, award-winning composer, and Assistant Professor of Trumpet and Director of Jazz at New Mexico State University. He is an innovative pedagogue, taking a modern and individualized approach to solving the trumpet’s technical challenges and laying the groundwork for each student’s multi-faceted music career.

Dalager’s first solo recording, Paradigms: The Music of Anthony Plog (Tonsehen, 2021) featured seven previously-unrecorded pieces by Plog. With a warm sound, nuanced phrasing, and technically spectacular passages, it has received critical acclaim in Fanfare, ITG Journal, Meet the Artist, and American Record Guide.

Jacob premiered his second concerto, Organ Mountain Fantasia (a featured selection at the 2024 International Trumpet Guild and College Music Society conferences), with the NMSU Wind Symphony in 2022 to enthusiastic reception. He performed his first concerto, 3ɟutures (which took second prize at the 2022 Music International Grand Prix and Honorable Mention in the 2023 American Prize competition), with the Austin Symphony Orchestra in 2019 after playing three concerti with the orchestra in 2016. Prior to that, he soloed with the Jesselton Philharmonic, Te Deum Chamber Orchestra, and the St. Olaf Band and Orchestra.

Dalager is a member of the Las Cruces Symphony and regular guest with the El Paso Symphony. Before moving to New Mexico, he was principal trumpet of the Washington Chamber Orchestra for six seasons and has been a guest performer with the National Philharmonic, Post-Classical Ensemble, Rochester Philharmonic, Symphoria, Singapore Symphony, National Taiwan Symphony, and Malaysia Philharmonic Orchestras, among others. He can be heard on the Singapore Symphony’s recordings of Rachmaninoff and Debussy.

As a chamber musician, Dalager re-formed the NMSU Brass Quintet and led the acclaimed Parkway Brass and M-Street Brass Quintets in Maryland. His groundbreaking quintet, Suite Analogique, has been performed across the country and won third prize in the 2023 American Prize competition, second in the 2020 Robert Avalon International Competition for Composers, and the 2022 Foundation for Modern Music Audience Choice Award.

A versatile crossover musician, Jacob plays solo trumpet with the Border Jazz Orchestra and leads the NMSU Faculty Jazz Sextet; he was lead trumpet of the Wammy-award-winning bands Black Masala and Shamans of Sound. He headlined the 2022 FIMUS Jazz Festival in Brazil and performed at the Singapore International and World Youth Jazz Festivals.

Dalager holds a D.M.A. from Catholic University (2020), M.M. from the Eastman School of Music (2012), and a B.A. and B.M. from St. Olaf College (2009). For more information, visit www.jacobdalager.com.
