Maestro Rodolfo Saglimbeni, ✨QDEP🪽 - Mi mejor memoria con él: Fue él quien me hizo la audición para la OSV, en el Teatro Teresa Carreño, durante un intermedio de ensayo de La Bohème. Había como 20 músicos escuchando, y Rodolfo me puso a tocar por lo menos 15 solos orquestales de trompeta, uno tras otro, cambiando de trompeta y de estilo… ¡fue brutal! Jamás olvidaré esa ocasión. Después entré a la sala para escuchar a mi nueva orquesta (!) ensayar esa ópera tan poderosa con él.✨

Siempre sentí un profundo respeto por su talento, su musicalidad y su persona. Siempre disfruté tocar bajo su batuta, y estaré eternamente agradecido por su entusiasmo y por haber dirigido mi audición.💛

My best memory of him: He was the one who gave me my audition for the OSV, at the Teresa Carreño Theater, during a rehearsal break for La Bohème. There were about 20 musicians listening, and Rodolfo had me play at least 15 orchestral trumpet excerpts, one after another, switching trumpets and styles… it was brutal! I’ll never forget that moment. Afterwards, I went into the hall to listen to my new orchestra (!) rehearsing that powerful opera with him.✨

I always had deep respect for his talent, his musicality, and the kind of person he was. I always enjoyed playing under his baton, and I’ll be forever grateful for his enthusiasm and for conducting my audition.💛

Friends since the good ol' U of Michigan days! While in his PhD conducting program he was too busy to teach trumpet so I took over his private trumpet studio. Thanks again, Frank 😇 and GO BLUE!! ✨🎶🎺
