Winner of the Young Artist Category in the 2026 Royal Philharmonic Society (RPS) Awards, star trumpeter Matilda Lloyd joins Ensemble 360 for a sparkling celebration of American music, alongside some dazzling trumpet classics. Described by BBC Music Magazine as a “trumpeter extraordinaire,” and celebrated for her impeccable sound, crystalline phrasing, and exquisite control, Matilda Lloyd holds audiences spellbound through virtuosity and expressive power.

This brassy concert from Music in the Round celebrates the brilliant sounds of the trumpet and its central place in American chamber music drawing on diverse traditions stretching back to Haydn.

Copland’s Quiet City is a portrait of the American night: a solitary walker and a bridge in fog. Beach’s Romance captures the elegance of the Boston salon, while Gershwin’s Three Preludes and whimsical Promenade encapsulate the moment jazz and European music collided, and a continent found its unique musical voice.
