Thomas
Stevens is retired from his position as principal trumpet player with the Los
Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, a position he held for 27 years. He was described by a European
publication, "Brass Bulletin," as being "undeniably one of the most important
voices in the development of the trumpet in the latter part of the 20th
century," primarily for his efforts in promoting, through performance and
premiere recordings, new works for solo trumpet, as well as the publication of
many of his educational materials on the same subject. He is also a published/recorded composer
and was an active educator throughout the world including being a faculty
member at the

McNab, Miles Anderson, Jeffrey Reynolds, and Roger Bobo have become icons of
excellence in the brass world.
