SUSANSLAUGHTER Page 6 | International Trumpet Guild Program ITG HoNorAry AwArd Susan Slaughter joined the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra in l969 and four years later became the first woman ever to be named Principal Trumpet of a major symphony orchestra. A graduate of Indiana University, where she received the coveted performer’s certificate in recognition of outstanding musical performance, Ms. Slaughter has studied with Herbert Mueller, Bernard Adelstein, Arnold Jacobs, Robert Nagel, Claude Gordon and Laurie Frink. Prior to accepting a position in St. Louis, Ms. Slaughter spent two years as Principal Trumpet of the Toledo Symphony. She appears regularly in area recitals and religious programs, and has been a frequent soloist with the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra as well as with several other ensembles throughout the country. Her work is represented on a number of Saint Louis Symphony releases including the highly acclaimed recordings of Mahler’s Symphony No. 2, Profofiev’s Symphony No. 5, Gershwin’s Piano Concerto in F, Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, Barber’s Capricorn Concerto, and most recently, John Adams’ Doctor Atomic. In recent years Ms. Slaughter has performed as soloist with the Bay Area Women’s Philharmonic in San Francisco, with the Marrowstone Music Festival Orchestra in Seattle, WA, and on the Shenson Chamber Music Concerts Series at The National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C. Ms. Slaughter has been on the faculty of the Grand Teton Orchestra Seminar and the National Orchestra Institute. In addition, she has served as lecture/recitalist at the International Trumpet Guild, and also served on its board of directors. Some of the awards and recognition Ms. Slaughter has received over the years include nomination by Ladies Home Journal for its annual Woman of the Year award, a special Leadership Award in the Arts from the Young Women’s Christian Association, the American Federation of Musicians, Local 2-197 Owen Miller Award for loyalty, dedication and fairness in actions and deeds, and the 2007 Arts and Education Council Award for Excellence in the Arts.. At the invitation of then baseball commissioner Fay Vincent, she performed the National Anthem for game three of the 1991 World Series. In 1992 Ms. Slaughter founded the International Women’s Brass Conference, an organization dedicated to provide opportunities and recognition for women brass musicians. As a fund-raising effort to support the International Women’s Brass Conference, Ms. Slaughter organized and produced the very popular Holiday Brass Concerts, which are now in their second decade, and are performed each December in the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis. Other cities in the United States are starting their own Holiday Brass Concerts to help support the ever-growing International Women’s Brass Conference. The next St. Louis Holiday Brass Concert will be December 7, 2010. To order tickets, or to purchase the recently released “Holiday Brass” CD, call 314-966-8671. Susan Slaughter is the featured artist on the “Holiday Brass” CD along with the Central Presbyterian Church Chancel Choir and the St. Louis Children’s Choirs Concert Choir. In 1996, Ms. Slaughter founded Monarch Brass, an all women’s brass ensemble, which has toured in the United States and Europe to critical acclaim. Recently Monarch Brass released its first CD titled MONARCH BRASS.

Ms. Slaughter retired as Principal Trumpet from the Saint Louis Symphony on September 1, 2010.
oGerDELmoTTE ITG HoNorAry AwArd Delmotte, Roger (b. Roubaix, France, Sept. 20, 1925). French trumpeter. Delmotte is respected as one of the pioneers in classical solo playing. His grandfather played tuba. Roger began on piccolo flute (two years) and then switched to flugelhorn, playing in local bands as a boy in Northern France, such as Fanfare Delattre in Roubaix, and the Symphonie du Favreuil Ensemble conducted by Mr. Glorieux (1943). At the Roubaix Conservatory, Delmotte studied trumpet with Maurice Leclerq (who was a previous pupil of Merri Franquin, and a first prize winner in 1911 at the CNSMP). Roger won his Prix d’Honneur in 1944, but his studies were interrupted when he lost his father and needed to work as a tailor in order to help support his family. However, he eventually enrolled in the Paris Conservatory under Eugene Foveau (1944-46) while serving in a military band in order to receive a tuition scholarship. In 1950 Delmotte was the first trumpet player to win a first prize in the Geneva Competition, a feat that launched his solo career. During that same year, he was appointed professor at the Versailles Conservatory (where he stayed until 1992), and in 1951 became principal of the Paris Opera Orchestra (where he played until 1986). He performed the 2nd Brandenburg Concerto by Bach under Fernand Oubradous (1951), and Jolivet’s Concertino with the Concerts Lamoureux Orchestra conducted by Jean Martinon (1952) and was the first artist to record it, under Ernest Bour on the Ducretet-Thomson label. (Delmotte played a small-bore Aubertin trumpet.) The recording dramatically furthered his career. (This historic recording was immediately distributed in the United States by the Westminster label, but incorrectly listed his name as “Del Motte.”) Soon, many composers wrote solo works for him, including Florent Schmitt, Jean Rivier, Georges Delerue, Henry Barraud, and others. Being close to Jolivet, Roger Delmotte gave him advice when this major composer wrote the 2nd Concerto for Trumpet. Delmotte premiered many new works for trumpet by Jean Françaix (Sonatine), Maurice Ohana (1963), and others. Roger Delmotte was very active as a studio player (film soundtracks, sessions with Roger-Roger, etc) in Paris. He also performed at many festivals, beginning with the Festival Casals in Prades (with an international orchestra conducted by Alexandre Schneider in 1951 that included Raymond Sabarich—trumpet, Serge Baudo—tympani, and members of the Philadelphia Orchestra such as Marcel Tabuteau—oboe), and in prestigious orchestras such as Ensemble Nadia Boulanger (1951), and the Petit Theatre Marigny-Domaine Musical with Pierre Boulez (from 1950). An important trumpeter during the Baroque revival of the 1950s, Delmotte performed and recorded early trumpet concerti even before pioneers such as Adolf Scherbaum and Roger Voisin. He introduced the young Maurice André by making the first recording of Vivaldi’s Concerto for Two Trumpets in 1952. From 1964, and for about 20 years longer, Delmotte made his name as a duet partner of the organist Pierre Cochereau (first concert given at the Strasburg Cathedral). During the same period, Delmotte gave Turkish and European tours with John Grady (organist at St. Patrick Church in NYC). In the 1970s, both Delmotte and André popularized music for trumpet with organ. Delmotte says, I always tried to be a complementary instrument to the organ, not a soloist. (June 4, 2010). He was also a member of the prestigious Gabriel Masson Brass Ensemble. The 1970s were a good time for Delmotte. He made many recordings for the O.R.T.F. and Philips labels, performed Rivier’s Concerto for Trumpet on national television (1972), co-founded a trumpet trio called Les Trompettes de Paris with Georges Jouvin and Roger Guerin (producing three albums for Pathé in 1971-72), toured Europe as a soloist, and formed his own brass ensemble that toured South Africa in 1979. Roger Delmotte continued as a leading soloist throughout the 1980s. However, unlike André, Delmotte disliked the piccolo trumpets (but can do great job on them!). For many years, he preferred to play trumpets in C, D, and E-flat. Delmotte served as an adviser for Courtois trumpets. In his duties at the Versailles Conservatory, Delmotte served as Raymond Sabarich’s teaching assistant (1965- 66). He then became a professor at the Paris Conservatory (1966-67). For a short time, he was the first trumpet teacher at the Lyon National Superior Conservatory of Music (1982). He also gave many master classes (Salzburg, Tokyo, and especially in Switzerland). Among his many pupils are the well-known Nicolas André, Robert Bouché, Roger Boufferet, Dominique Derasse, Pierre Dutot, Roger Jeanmarie, Gérard Millière, Elisabeth Nouaille-Degorce, René Périnelli, Jean-Luc Ramecourt, Jean Sibra, Olivier Theurillat, Marc Ullrich, Pascal Vigneron, and Urban Walser. Delmotte participated in the 1985 ITG Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He was a co-founder of the Guilde Française des Trompettistes (in 1978), and has been an important judge at international trumpet competitions beginning in 1979 when he was a member of the jury for the Maurice André Competition in Paris. He has also served on juries for the Toulon Competition (he was the artistic director in 1975 to 2000), International Congress of Brass at Châtenay-Malabry, and others. Delmotte received the Chevalier des Arts & Lettres (1965), Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur (1972), and Officier de l’Ordre National du Mérite (2001). His second wife, a Swiss woman named Evelyne, passed away around 1998. He is now retired, but still studies music. He lives in Chatou, near Paris, and collects old trumpets and cornets, and is vice-president of an association of older musicians from the opera and opera-comique.
