A historic first!
Selina Ott made history at the ARD Music Competition 2018 as the first woman ever to win 1st Prize in the trumpet category – at just 20 years old! Her electrifying performance of André Jolivet’s Trumpet Concerto No. 2 with the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks under Joseph Bastian was a breathtaking mix of fire and precision.
👉 Jolivet wrote this concerto in 1954 for the legendary French trumpeter Maurice André, pushing technical and rhythmic boundaries with its jazz-inspired syncopations and daring cadenza-like passages.
