Peter Knudsvig, longtime Co-Principal Trumpet of the Hofer Symphoniker and First Trumpet of Rekkenze Brass, has been appointed Artist-Teacher of Trumpet at Concordia College, Moorhead, Minnesota for the coming (2007) academic year. Dr. Knudsvig will be vacating his position in the orchestra but will be continuing with Rekkenze Brass.
Born and raised in Williston, North Dakota, Knudsvig received his Bachelor of Music from Concordia College and his Master and Doctorate of Music from The Catholic University of America, concurrently playing first trumpet in The US Army Band, Washington, DC.
