A highlight of the concert will be the performance of a new trumpet sonata by composer and trumpet player Robert Bradshaw. The composition is premiering in all 50 U.S. states during November.

Prugh has worked as a soloist in conjunction with such artists as Benita Valente and Susan Starr, and conductors Michael Korn, David Hayes, Tom Lloyd, James Freeman, Marc Mostovoy and Sidney Rothstein, among others. She also has recorded and played extensively with The Festive Brass, a popular area-based brass quintet, and is Mannheim Steamroller's featured trumpeter when they come to the Philadelphia area.
