Karen Donnelly Trumpet

Karen Donnelly is the Principal Trumpet player of the National Arts Centre Orchestra in Ottawa, Canada, and a well-known educator. In this episode, we get to hear Karen's beautiful playing, and I talk to her about her background, her work with the Canadian Women's Brass Collective , some of her unique outreach work and her resilient practice routine! There's also a bonus episode in this playlist on this channel in which you can hear us do a free improvisation.

Like all my episodes, this is also a video, and you'll find the bonus episodes linked here as well as the transcript:
