Trumpet: Echoes is Greg Hammontree’s ambient rendering of brass as architecture. Hammontree reimagines the trumpet as a harmonic engine, less about statement, more about space. It's not about resolution, but suspension — moments caught in feedback loops between breath and reflection. Each performance is an invitation to experience time not as a line, but as an expansive terrain. Trumpet: Echoes premiered at Socrates Sculpture Park's New Agora Festival in 2022.
Greg Hammontree is a quiet revolutionary. An artist whose work is both understated and unapologetically rebellious all at once, Hammontree challenges convention from the inside out. Based in New York, his extensive credits span The Blue Note NYC, Festspielhaus St. Pölten (Austria), Radio City Music Hall, Bing Concert Hall (Stanford), The Kaufman Center (Kansas City), and Konzerthaus Berlin (Germany).
