About the artist Alison Balsom

"She makes the trumpet sing with an irresistible exuberance and eloquence." - Richard Morrison, The Times, September 2008. A highly acclaimed artist and one of music's great ambassadors, Alison Balsom was named Best Young British Performer at the 2006 Classical BRITs and was honoured with the Classic FM Listener Award at the September 2006 Gramophone Awards. In 2007 the Echo Klassik Awards hailed her "Rising Artist of the Year” and in 2009 she became the first Briton ever to be crowned "Female Artist of the Year" at the Classical BRITs. Alison Balsom studied trumpet at the Guildhall School of Music, the Paris Conservatoire, and with Håkan Hardenberger. She was a concerto finalist in the BBC Young Musicians Competition in 1998 and received the Feeling Musique Prize for quality of sound in the 4th Maurice André International Trumpet Competition. Alison Balsom performs a wide range of recital and concerto repertoire, from Albinoni to Zimmermann and performs on both modern and baroque trumpets.
