LUMINA Concert No. 176

 

Amy Horvey, trumpet 

 

A concert of contemporary music for trumpet

 

Dubbed â€"heaven’s trumpeter” by the Toronto-based ensemble Arraymusic, 26-year-old
Amy Horvey is one of Canada’s most versatile and original emerging young trumpeters.
Amy received her BMus. at the University of Victoria with Louis Ranger, where she was
the winner of the UVic Concerto Competition. After her graduation from the University of Victoria, she studied at the Glenn Gould School with Andrew McCandless. While playing in the National Youth Orchestra of Canada from 2000-2002, she studied with Vincent Cichowicz and Larry Knopp.

From 2003-2005 Amy studied with Andre Heuvelman at the Rotterdam Conservatory,
graduating with the highest possible honors in 2005. She also studied privately with
Dutch trumpeter Marco Blaauw. While living in the Netherlands she was the winner of
the Jury Prize of the 2004 De Link Competition, premiered Philip Matuczewski’s
Concerto for Trumpet, and performed in the Holland Festival’s production of John
Taverner’s The Veil of the Temple. She composed and performed the score to the
dance work F’Dom, a collaboration with choreographer Agnija Seiko Sarulienne which
toured the Netherlands, France and Lithuania.

Since her return to Canada in 2005, she has worked with wide range of performance
projects of the highest caliber, including collaborations with Soundstreams Canada and
Arraymusic, with whom she performed at the National Arts Centre’s English Theatre.
In 2006, Amy toured Canada with â€"The Perspective of Disappearance”, a program of
new music for solo trumpet, with the support of a Saskatchewan Arts Board Creative
Development Grant. The program was featured at such venues as Open Space Victoria
and the Vancouver International Jazz Festival. At the invitation of jazz trumpeter Dave
Douglas, she presented this program as a featured soloist at the 2006 Festival of New
Trumpet Music in New York City.

Amy has worked with several major symphony orchestras, including the Rotterdam
Philharmonic, the Winnipeg Symphony, and the Thunder Bay Symphony. She has
commissioned works from many composers, including Marc Yeats, Cecilia Arditto,
Christopher Butterfield, Isak Goldschneider, Ryan Purchase, and Daisuke Terauchi.
