Abstract (300 words maximum)
The genre of contemporary Greek art music is significantly underrepresented and unknown to many individuals globally. This research and creative activity focused on the study, preparation, and public performance of previously unheard Greek works for trumpet (the researchers’ primary instrument), which included field research on the island of Corfu, Greece. Research methods included study of primary manuscript sources and consultation with living Greek composers, supervised by the Primary Investigator. The outcome of this research included peer-reviewed performances of these works in Corfu, Greece, and a subsequent performance is planned in Kennesaw, Georgia, which will be the US premiere of these works.
