Freeman

Conceived by Jonathan Freeman-Attwood and Mozart scholar Timothy Jones, this programme of four sonatas ‘by’ and ‘after’ Mozart is a compelling new contribution to the trumpet repertoire with four Classical-style sonatas.

After growing up in Dallas, Freeman moved to Austin in 1970, soon followed by Jimmie Vaughan, Doyle Bramhall, Paul Ray, and a little later, Stevie Vaughan.Eventually, Freeman played with all of them, before playing with other local blues acts, such at Louann Barton and Angela Strehli, and in the 1980's, in the famous Antone's Night Club's house band.

Brahms: Capriccio in B minor, Op. 76 No. 2; Brahms: Intermezzi (3), Op. 117; Brahms: Intermezzo in E major, Op. 116 No. 4; Debussy: Préludes - Book 1; Schumann: Kinderszenen, Op. 15.

In the expansive acoustic of Hereford Cathedral, these three musicians draw the listener into a late-Romantic world of outstanding and strikingly idiomatic ensemble music creatively reimagined for two trumpets and organ. Features works by Richard Strauss, Edward William Elgar, and Josef Gabriel Rheinberger.

Lawrence "Bud" Freeman (April 13, 1906 in Chicago, Illinois – March 15, 1991 in Chicago) was an American tenor saxophonist.
