Alan Vizzutti – Possibly the most virtuosic and versatile trumpet player on the planet, Mr. Vizzutti grew up in Montana where he began trumpet lessons with his father. After high school, he attended the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY on full scholarship, earning a Bachelor of Music and Master of Music degrees, a Performer’s Certificate, a chair in the Eastman Brass Quintet faculty ensemble, and the only Artist’s Diploma ever awarded a wind player in Eastman’s 85 year history.

Mr. Vizzutti has performed on over 100 motion picture sound tracks, (such as Back to The Future and Star Trek), as well as countless TV shows, commercials and recordings with such artists as Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Neil Diamond, Chick Corea, the Commodores and Prince. His soaring sounds can be heard on recent projects including the movies “Furry Vengeance”, “40 Days and 40 Nights”, “Unfaithfully Yours”, Gridiron Gang”, “Scary Movie Four”, and the “Medal of Honor”, “Gears Of War 3” and “Halo” video games.

Alison Balsom – Crowned ‘Female Artist of the Year’ at the 2009 Classic BRITs, Alison Balsom has cemented an international reputation as one of classical music’s great ambassadors and is ranked among the most distinctive and ground-breaking musicians on the international circuit today. In 2009 Alison Balsom headlined one of classical music’s most celebrated concerts – The Last Night of the BBC Proms – which reached its biggest ever global television audience of an estimated 200 million. In December 2010 Balsom went on to make her US television debut with the Orchestra of St Luke’s on The Late Show with David Letterman – a platform few classical artists have gained access to.
