Sunday Bandstand 13 February 2022
The newest member of the London Symphony Orchestra is trumpet player James Fountain. As the LSO Principal Trumpet he is following in the footsteps of some of his brass playing heroes.
He grew up surrounded by music with both his parents in the local Salvation Army band. He first picked up the cornet at the age of three, as a youngster he played with his local band the GUS Band, The National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain and then the Grimethorpe Colliery Band. He was Principal Trumpet at the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra whilst still studying and also held the same position with the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
James has always been inspired by the level of musicianship in London and feels very fortunate to have played with so many fantastic players during his career so far. One of his most important brass playing icons is Maurice Murphy, former Principal Trumpet at the London Symphony Orchestra.
James is featured on this week's show with a track from his new CD.
