Sunday Bandstand 20 January 2019

Peter Masseurs (24.7.1944 -  5.1.2019 ) was a  Dutch trumpet player . 

When he was twelve, he began playing trumpet, inspired by his musician and friend who also played trumpet.  He studied trumpet at the Royal Flemish Conservatory in Antwerp, where he graduated with the Prix ​​d'excellence .

After his study, in 1963, he went to play in the Marine Band of the Royal Navy. In March 1970 he became the first trumpet player of the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra . From 1982 until his retirement in 2009 he was one of the two solo trumpeters of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. He was also principal subject teacher in the trumpet at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam .

He played the solo concerts of Joseph Haydn , Henri Tomasi and Bernd Alois Zimmermann and the trumpet solo in the First Piano Concerto by Dmitri Shostakovich . In September 2002 he gave the world premiere (also on CD) of the concert for flugelhorn by Willem Jeths . This assignment work for the KCO was written especially for him. Besides Jeths other composers wrote for him, among them Otto Ketting and Martijn Padding ( One Trumpet). He also recorded a CD with works for trumpet solo (in the series Soloists from the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra ).

He performed as a soloist with many orchestras in the Netherlands and Europe and also played in the Netherlands Wind Ensemble, the Asko Ensemble , the Schönberg Ensemble , the Viotta Ensemble, the Amsterdam Bach soloists and the Ebony Band.

In 2005 he recorded the Alexander  Arutiunian Trumpet Concerto with the Hepworth Persimmon Homes) Band. He was also involved in other recordings with the and his friend Huug Steketee.
