Brass Roots Trio in Fairmont

Romantic relationships can start online, so why not musical ones?

When pianist Rosetta Bacon was googling French horn players around New York and New Jersey, the name Douglas Lundeen kept coming up. So she contacted him, and they played some music together. He suggested that they include trumpet player Travis Heath, then a doctoral student at Rutgers (where Lundeen teaches). When they got together, everything clicked.

The Brass Roots Trio

The relationship has lasted – the three have been playing together as the Brass Roots Trio for five years, and along the way they’ve recorded three CDs.

There is some music written for this unusual combo, but they’ve also created arrangements of music that they love and that suits their instruments.

The Brass Roots Trio is playing in Fairmont this weekend, so I arranged an interview with Rosetta. The first thing I found out is that she is from Fairmont and studied piano at WVU! You can listen to our interview here:

The Brass Roots Trio will play in Fairmont on Sunday at 7:30pm.

You can read more about the trio and listen to some of their music on their Web site. You can find out more about the concert on the Fairmont Chamber Music Society site.
