On April 1st, 2005, Michael Sachs, principal trumpet of the Cleveland Orchestra, presented a recital and masterclass at Del Mar College in Corpus Christi, Texas. The audience was enthralled with Sachs' exquisite sound and musicianship. The program included works by Neruda, Viviani, and Torelli. These works will be featured on an upcoming CD, to be released in November 2005, of music for trumpet and organ featuring Michael Sachs and Todd Wilson. After the recital Sachs worked with individual students and covered a wide range of topics with an emphasis on tone production and effective practice. The event was organized by Del Mar College faculty member Mary Thornton, and attendees included students and faculty from Del Mar College, Texas A&M-Kingsville, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, Victoria College, and UT-San Antonio.
