Baroque Trumpet

Jason Dovel enjoys recreating the sound of Baroque music on period instruments.  He enjoys playing both 3-hole and 4-hole vented replicas of natural trumpets, and his primary instrument is a 4-hole instrument made by Matt Martin at Norwich Natural Trumpets, after an original by Kodisch in 1710. He has performed with many early music groups in North America, including the Washington Bach Consort, Kentucky Bach, Mountainside Baroque, Virginia Baroque, Bourbon Baroque, and others. He also enjoys playing solo recitals on music for Baroque trumpet and organ. In 2018 he recorded the CD, Baroque Music for Trumpet and Organ, which is available on all major platforms.

University of Kentucky Baroque Trumpet Program

Jason Dovel is also director of the Baroque trumpet program at the University of Kentucky. Students can pursue an innovative Certificate in Baroque trumpet, which consists of the UK Baroque Trumpet Ensemble, private study of Baroque trumpet, and courses in performance practice.
