“Though just an eighth grader, trumpet player Geoff Gallante is becoming one of the most celebrated young musicians nationwide.
Geoff found his older brother’s trumpet at age four, and by the age of six he had already garnered guest soloist engagements with the likes of the Louisville Orchestra and Duke Ellington Orchestra and Philadelphia Brass Quintet. He has since performed on prominent stages alongside numerous distinguished artists such as Maynard Ferguson, Cyrus Chestnut, Chris Botti, Christian McBride, and Etienne Charles, among others.

Tonight he’s joined by Ed Mendenhall on keys and Kanoa Mendenhall on bass.â€
