Introduction
Welcome to my web page.
My name is Gordon Hudson and I am a trumpet player living in
Edinburgh, Scotland.
About me
In the 1990's I was an active freelance player but these days I
spend my time working for a charity and playing on an amateur basis in the Edinburgh area. I have just finished seven years playing the trumpet with the Open
Orchestra and made a return to brass bands playing cornet with Penicuik SIlver Band.
I started playing at the age of 10 (french horn)
switched to euphonium at 14 (because I wanted to play in a brass band)
and then trumpet and cornet at around the age of 19 (although I still
doubled on euphonum for a couple of years). My brass band experience
includes Stirling Public Band, Alloa Band (1st and 2nd section) and
Alva Band (championship section). I have played Bb cornet and Eb
soprano cornet.
As an orchestral player I have performed a wide range pf repertoire
from baroque to modern works including concertos and other solos. This
includes a lot of piccolo trumpet playing in baroque literature.
In addition to playing trumpet, cornet and piccolo trumpet I play french horn to a level good enough for second or third horn.
You can find out more about my musical activities by clicking on
the links at the top of this page. You might want to start with
the instruments page or the players
I admire pages as these are probably the most interesting at
the moment.
