Parker Wilkinson, trumpet

Parker Wilkinson is playing trumpet at the Huntington Recital Hall on Friday, October 30, at 8 PM. It's a solo recital, so the whole evening is built around his playing. The hall is part of Capital University, right here in Columbus.

If you're not familiar with the venue, it's a dedicated recital space, the kind of room where the focus stays on the music and not on anything else. A trumpet recital is a pretty specific thing to catch on a Friday night—just one person and their instrument—so it's a good bet the program will lean into the range and versatility of the trumpet rather than a full ensemble sound. You'll get to hear the instrument carry the melody and the harmony on its own, which is a different experience than when it's tucked into a band or an orchestra.

It's a free show, so there's no ticket to buy in advance. You can just show up and take a seat. The recital starts at 8 PM on Friday, October 30, at the Huntington Recital Hall on Capital University's campus in Columbus.
