A virtuoso trumpeter and composer, Brandon Ridenour's brilliance and self-assurance on the concert stage led to his victory at the 2014 CAG Victor Elmaleh Competition. Hailed as "a major talent in the making" (Grand Rapids Press), Brandon became the youngest member ever to join the iconic Canadian Brass, playing in distinguished venues around the world, performing on television, recording ten albums, and receiving three Juno Award nominations during his tenure.
