Al Hood, Conference Host
The 2004 International Trumpet Guild Conference (June 15-19, Denver, Co) comes full circle from its roots to the University of Denver’s Lamont School of Music, proud host of the first National Trumpet Symposiums, the direct forerunner of our present ITG conferences, which began at Lamont in 1968. Alan Hood, 2004 ITG Conference Host, and the Lamont School of Music are indeed honored to be a part of the 29th annual conference and are working hard to make this a gathering you won’t soon forget! All of the events will take place in the newly opened, acoustically superior arts complex, the Robert and Judi Newman Center for the Performing Arts. Be sure to make some plans to explore the breathtaking scenic beauty of the Colorado Rockies together with your trip to the Denver conference!
