Refined and lyrical
'Aaron Azunda Akugbo served up a flute of sparkling champagne, the effervescent brilliance of his playing radiating through the outer movements'
Bachtrack
Nigerian–Scottish trumpeter Aaron Azunda Akugbo combines virtuosic playing with an instinctive sense of communication. Classically trained as both a trumpeter and singer, he brings vocal lyricism and a distinctively warm sound to repertoire ranging from the standard trumpet concerto canon to lesser-known and contemporary works. His performances combine musical insight with charisma and humour that make him a compelling presence on stage.
