Sarah Wilson's Trapeze Project CD Release Party November 29, 2010

Composer/trumpeter Sarah Wilson has emerged as “one of the most intriguing and promising composers and trumpeters on the contemporary music scene” (Derk Richardson, San Francisco Chronicle). In the past few years, Wilson’s original work has premiered internationally and nationally at highly acclaimed venues such as the Willisau Jazz Festival, Switzerland, NYC Central Park's Summerstage, SF’s deYoung Museum, the Healdsburg Jazz Festival and the Festival of New Trumpet Music in NYC.

Wilson’s new record label, Brass Tonic Records, celebrates the release of her 2010 CD, "Trapeze Project" with Wilson (trumpet/vocals), Ben Goldberg (clarinet), Myra Melford (piano), Jerome Harris(bass) and Scott Amendola (drums). Wilson received funding from the Zellerbach Family Foundation and William & Flora Hewlett Foundation, East Bay Fund for Artists, deYoung Museum Cultural Encounters Initiative in collaboration with Intersection for the Arts and Meet the Composer's MetLife Creative Connections program for this project. She was just awarded a prestigious statewide Artistic Innovation grant from the Center for Cultural Innovation and was a 2010 Djerassi Resident Artist.
