Esteban Batallán
-
For those that have an interest in the “Great Orchestras” I came across an interesting story. Many of you are aware that Esteban Batallán who had been the Principal Trumpet of the CSO since 2019, in September, 2024, shockingly left this position, that he strived for his entire Trumpet playing career, and assumed the Principal Chair at the Philadelphia Orchestra. He has now returned to the CSO.
The details of this story can be found in the link below. I also have included a link of CSO Principal Trumpet Esteban Batallán performing an excerpt from Michael Haydn's Trumpet Concerto in D Major — one of two concertos he will play in his highly-anticipated solo debut with the Orchestra led by Riccardo Muti June 12-14. Along with the M. Haydn, Batallán will present Telemann's brilliant Trumpet Concerto in D Major.
