The Passion of Music is Alive and Well with Samantha Hogan!
Episode 7
Tuesday, 31 December, 2024
Happy Holidays everyone! During the pandemic musicians were able to meet more online and it made for a challenging time, but also fruitful time to make connections that otherwise may not have happened if we were all in our everyday lives of working or being students. Our guest today falls in this category. I was looking personally for works by women composers for a recital I was working on and found Samanthan Hogan’s work, Mill Creek Trombone Concerto. There are clever, meaningful, and quirky melodies that stand out and I thought to myself I am going to do this one. So I let her know and met on zoom. I learned then that my now co-host Bruce Faske premiered the piece and I was the 2nd or 3rd person to play it. Since - the piece has been fully orchestrated and premiered by the trombonist Gavin Carney in Minnesota the fall of 2024 and has become a composer in demand. On this episode Sam talks about how she caught the composing bug at an early age and how she equally loves to play and teach trombone. Please Enjoy!
