Mr. Zsolt Nagy Major plays three movements of Bolling's Toot Suite for Trumpet and Jazz Trio at a tribute concert to celebrate the 70th birthday of Ms. Éva Nagyiván, the beloved trumpet teacher of generations in Hungary. She had been taught at music schools and music high schools (secondary schools) in the cities of Veszprém and Budapest, and she was the assisstant professor of trumpet at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music Teachers' Training College in Győr for a decade. She is the co-writer of a four volume trumpet tutor (Varasdy−Nagyiván−Sztán: Trombitaiskola) which serves as the basis of the elementary curriculum of trumpet teaching not only in Hungary, but the first two books of it in France as well. About the performers: Mr. Zsolt Nagy Major began trumpet playing at age of 13 in Cluj (Kolozsvár), Rumania under the direction of Mr. László Benő. In 1982 his family immigrated to Hungary, and Zsolt began to study at the Szombathely Secondary School of Music with Mr. István Tomena. In a few months his family left for Veszprém, Hungary, and he also changed to Ms. Nagyiván's trumpet class at the László Lovassy High School and Secondary School of Music in that city. He attended the Franz Liszt Academy of Music between 1986 and 1991, and graduated with MA degree in classical music performance and trumpet teaching from that university. Since 1992 he has been the principal trumpet of the Weimar Staatskapelle, Germany. The Jazz trio was an occasional grouping of Mr. Miklós Vontszemű (piano), student of the Kőbánya Music Studio Budapest, Mr. Ferenc Zink, double bass and bass guitar player at the Orchestra of the National Theater Győr and Gyula Adorján (drums). The concert was held on 19th of June 2010 at the University Concert Hall of Széchenyi University Tibor Varga Institute of Musical Arts (formerly Synagogue) in Győr, Hungary.
The Diane Rehm Show 's opening theme is from the Allegre of Claude Bolling's Toot Suite dedicated to and performed by Maurice André.
