Mary Elizabeth Bowden with Chrysalis Chamber Players is an
all-female quintet that pulls its members from two different
world-class programs. Featuring a string quartet and an
award-winning trumpeter, their repertoire includes outstanding new
arrangements and compositions highlighting virtuosic works by Bach,
Debussy, Mozart, Haydn, and more.
Classical Trumpeter Mary Elizabeth Bowden has built an in-demand
career as a soloist, praised for her “splendid, brilliant” playing
(Gramophone Magazine) and her “pure, refined, and warm” tone
(American Record Guide). A Gold Medal Global Music Award Winner,
Opus Klassik Nominee, and Yamaha Performing Artist, she has also
worked to establish a new repertoire for the trumpet through
creative, collaborative commissioning projects and award-winning
albums.
Her upcoming season includes no fewer than four world premiere
concertos, including Clarice Assad’s new Concerto for Trumpet and
Orchestra with the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra and Chamber
Orchestra of the Triangle, Jennifer Jolley's Concerto for Brass
Quintet with Seraph Brass and the Texas Tech University Wind
Ensemble, Anthony DiLorenzo’s Chimera: Concerto for Brass Quintet
and Wind Ensemble with the U.S. Army "Pershing's Own", Reena
Esmail's Rosa de Sal for Trumpet and Orchestra with the Chicago
Youth Symphony Orchestra, and Tyson Davis's Veiled Light with the
Chamber Orchestra of the Triangle, which will be performed alongside
her husband, trumpeter David Dash. Additional concerto performances
include the Haydn Concerto with the Busan Maru International Music
Festival Orchestra (Korea), Vivian Fung's Concerto for Trumpet and
Orchestra with the Philharmonia Northwest (Seattle), San Jose
Chamber Orchestra, and Waynesboro Symphony (VA), and Anthony
DiLorenzo's Chimera with Seraph Brass and the Florence Symphony
(SC). Bowden will also have residencies with the World and European
Brass Association in Courances, France; Guadalajara and Cancun,
Mexico; and will be a Guest Artist at the Norfolk Chamber Music
Festival and Marlboro Music Festival.
Recent highlights include the premiere of Vivian Fung’s Concerto for
Trumpet and Orchestra with the Erie Philharmonic, the Spanish

de Gran Canaria, her debut with Santa Fe Symphony, her Turkish debut
with the Izmir State Symphonic Orchestra, her German debut in
Eisenach at the Wartburg Castle, and her French debut at the Château
