Alumnus Trumpeter in the News
- Kyle Spraker
Kyle Spraker (BM) completed a Master’s degree at the New England Conservatory of Music (2010).  Kyle is a member of the Redline Brass Quintet , the Boston Philharmonic (Benjamin Zander, director) and is principal trumpet with the Discovery Ensemble chamber orchestra in Boston.
His recent performance on Beethoven’s Leonore Overture with Discovery Ensemble at Jordan Hall in Boston garnered this review: “Kyle Spraker’s offstage trumpet solo seemed utterly assured and created just the right foil to the dramatic events unfurling onstage. It is hard to imagine a more convincing performance of this work.”
