First Annual UA Wind Ensemble Solo Artist Competition Winner; Connor Bagheri, Trumpet

March 27, 2019

The University of Arizona Fred Fox School of Music is proud to announce the winner of the First Annual UA Wind Ensemble Solo Artist Competition. This competition was open to undergraduate and graduate students in the woodwind, brass, and percussion studios, and there were several outstanding performers. The 2019 winner is Connor Bagheri, a sophomore trumpet player, who will perform Kevin McKee’s “Centennial Horizon” for trumpet and wind ensemble. The concert will take place on Friday, April 26, 2019 at 7:30 p.m. in Crowder Hall.

Connor Bagheri is a second year undergraduate student of Professor Jason Carder at the University of Arizona. From San Marcos, California, Connor started playing trumpet in the sixth grade beginning band. Four years later he began studying with Frank Glasson of the San Diego Symphony. During high school, he took lessons with critically acclaimed players such as John Wilds, Rob Frear, Jim Wilt and Thomas Hooten. Connor has participated in the chamber music portion of the Music for All National Festival in Indianapolis, and was a member of the California All-State Wind Symphony in 2017. He has played in master classes held by David Evans, Micah Wilkinson, Joe Burgstaller and Pacho Flores.

Congratulations, Connor!

One thing that needs to be considered in this time of major climate change concern is the carbon emissions of flying in artists from overseas. The carbon emissions of flying Stockholm-Tucson roundtrip come to about 3 tons per economy class passenger. That is comparable to the carbon emissions produced by the average American in 1 year of driving. Could a US-based organist have played this recital (shorter travel distance and lower emissions)? Or, is Hammarstrom already on tour in the US (thus consolidating multiple recitals into 1 overseas trip)? There is also the option of offsetting flight emissions. Saying this as a DMA grad of the UA organ program and as an astronomy educator who’s following the astronomy field’s efforts to mitigate climate impact.
