Trumpet player to give concert at Fallbrook Library

FALLBROOK – The Freaney and Friends free September concert will be held Tuesday, Sept. 26 at 1 p.m. in the Community Room at Fallbrook Library and will feature musician Elizabeth Howard.

Howard is a native of San Diego. She holds a Bachelor of Music from Boston University and a Master of Music from Yale University, both for trumpet performance.

She has performed with the San Diego Symphony, Orchestra Nova, and at the Old Globe. Outside the classical music scene, she is active in several salsa bands, and helps direct Sabrosas Latin Orchestra, an all-female salsa band. She is a music instructor at Southwestern Community College, and is a member of Westwind Brass Quintet, in residence at SDSU.

Howard lives in San Diego with her husband, son age 8, and daughter age 6. Fun fact: she got her start in music through the fourth grade public school music program. Support music in the schools!

Her program will feature Haydn's Trumpet Concerto, Leroy Anderson's Trumpeter's Lullaby, Rachmanninoff's Vocalise, Variations by Handel, La Virgen de la Macarena, Gershwin Preludes, and Fandango by Juan Carlos Calderon.

Bob Freaney will also perform solo works and is very excited to accompany such an accomplished musician like Howard. The concert is supported by the Friends of the Fallbrook Library. The library is located at 124 S. Mission Road.
