| All trumpeters in the group are outstanding players, but that is not the only reason they were chosen to play in the ensemble. They were also chosen for their outstanding character. We may have different religious denominations, but one thing we all have in common is our high standard of moral and ethical beliefs. This makes our church concerts much more meaningful to us and the audience. It is very satisfying for us to see someone have a religious musical experience and actually see them become very moved emotionally during a concert. Please click the link to read more "About Us". God Bless you all, Kentucky Baroque Trumpets |

KBT recreates the sound of the Baroque era using reproduction natural and baroque trumpets and we also play on authentic Ehe natural trumpets.
When you hear us play you will notice we do not play in todays style. The music will be played in the style of the baroque era. We strive to educate
the audience about the history of the baroque era, the construction of the trumpet, its playing characteristics, and more. You will also hear us play
modern instruments, including all pitch trumpets and the corno da caccia. We try to appeal to all audiences by being able to play authentic unvented
trumpets, vented trumpets, and modern valved instruments. Please go to our instruments page to see some of our horns.
