Ronald Romm

Ronald Romm

A performer who has appeared worldwide on the stages of almost all major concert venues, music festivals, and international music conferences, Ronald Romm is widely acknowledged as one of the pre-eminent trumpeters and clinicians of today. Born in New York, but considering himself a native Californian, he was a child prodigy who began his career as a soloist at the age of ten.

In 1971, Ronald Romm joined the newly formed Canadian Brass, which later established itself as the premiere brass ensemble in the world. In June of 2000, he retired from the group after participating in well over 4,500 concerts, 60 recordings, numerous television concert specials, videos, and hundreds of master classes. He has performed with major orchestras and with the greatest living conductors in the world. Now a resident of Sarasota, Romm has been Professor of Trumpet and B.A. Nugent Professor of Music Performance at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he has maintained a full teaching schedule since 2001.
