Britain's What's On Event Guide
Milverton Concert Society
Aaron Azunda Akugbo Trumpet Zeynep Oszuca Piano
Aaron , who is 26 years of age, began playing trumpet after listening to his Dad’s Louis Armstrong CDs as a child and cites this as his biggest musical inspiration. He is a charismatic performer with an abundance of natural humour and an effortless engagement with people and audiences.
Aaron can often be seen freelancing in the principal chairs of some of the most prestigious orchestras in the UK including the Philharmonia, BBC Philharmonic, BBC Symphony and Royal Philharmonic Orchestras. He made his debut at the BBC Proms in 2023 with the Chineke Orchestra performing Haydn’s trumpet concerto.
Turkish pianist Zeynep Özsuca has performed worldwide as a soloist, chamber musician and accompanist and many of you will remember her stunning performance for the Milverton Concert Society in 2023 with Saxophonist Jess Gillam. Zeynep has worked with conductors such as Gustavo Dudamel, Sir Simon Rattle and Sir Antonio Pappano.
