The Sam Houston State University School of Music will host the Carmine Caruso International Jazz Trumpet Solo Competition on September 19th. While it is considered the most prestigious jazz trumpet competition in the world, Dr. Amanda Pepping has been working for over two years to host the event at SHSU.
“With the help of my colleagues, I wrote a grant two years ago proposing to host the competition here,” Pepping said. “We were selected from a pool of universities who all applied.”
The Carmine Caruso Jazz Trumpet Solo Competition first began in 1993, and only takes place every two years. The competition is open to players internationally who are under the age of 30. click here for complete story
