David Lough

David Lough is a trumpeter scheduled to perform as soloist with the Amarillo Symphony in Amarillo, Texas, on a program titled "Mahler's First." The concerts pair a new commission by Nicky Sohn with Janacek's Sinfonietta and Mahler's Symphony No. 1. Beyond this listing, no further biographical details are confirmed.

Listeners attending these concerts will hear David Lough as trumpet soloist within a program built around orchestral color and fanfare. Janacek's Sinfonietta opens with a blaze of brass, including multiple trumpets arranged for a sound that fills a concert hall like a civic proclamation. Mahler's First Symphony, closing the program, also leans on trumpet writing for some of its most arresting moments, including offstage and onstage calls that cut through the orchestral texture. The evening begins with a world premiere commission by Nicky Sohn, an unknown quantity that will let audiences hear a brand new piece before the two orchestral staples. Without prior familiarity with Lough's playing, listeners can expect a program where trumpet tone, whether bright and ceremonial or lyrical and sustained, plays a central role in both the new work and the Janacek and Mahler that follow.
