Raymond Deleon aims to expand perceptions around trumpet and classical music. Deleon started playing the instrument at age 6 under his father’s guidance in his native country, the Philippines. He had his first solo performance at age 9.
Deleon studied at the University of Santo Tomas and twice received the Benavidez Award for International Excellence in Music. He has been featured as a premier soloist with orchestras including the Seattle Philharmonic.
His concert program includes Oskar Böhme’s Trumpet Concerto in F minor, Variations from Norma, Vladimir Peskin’s Trumpet Concerto in C minor, and Musseta’s Waltz from La Boheme. Piano accompanist is Anne Herfindahl.
