Background:

Marc plays Trumpet and Flugelhorn, to compliment different genres and timbres of music. He performs on the legendary Eclipse Artist Trumpet for a truly beautiful vintage sound. Marc can also cater for all different type of events and play as self contained setup with equipment if required. I began began studying the trumpet at the age of eighteen. My close friends encouraged me throughout my early years, having been professional musicians themselves. I soon developed a passion for playing trumpet. During that time i've played in various bands including “Flora Symphony Orchestra”, “The Quirinus Band & Bugle Corps”, “High Five Brass Quintet” and the Party and Cover Band “Die Kleinenbroicher” to name just a few. In 2011 I was given the enviable opportunity to study and advance my Big Band skills with the world-famous trumpeter Thomas Inderka. I also studied with the international trumpet legend, Gábor Tarkövi, one of the worlds best classical and solo trumpeters. During my time at the Quirinus Band and Bugle Corps I have been the principal trumpeter and regularly appearing on many Military Tattoos. I am as well a respected Trumpet teacher and have been teaching for many years. My extensive touring has seen visits to various parts of Europe. Throughout my career I have performed at some of the best venues, and with many famous artists in the world.
