Reviews
Melissa Venema is a trumpet player of exceptional class. Her tone is full and powerful and she plays with extraordinary expressiveness. She has the ability to let the music itself tell the story and plays with lots of emotion. Playing with her is a pleasure, because of her natural way of phrasing and her talent to let the music breathe in a moving way. She makes the music understandable, she makes music sincerely and from the heart. My composition 'The Kingdom' was written especially for her, the official premiere was in the main hall of the Royal Concertgebouw. She performed the challenging work, dynamic, virtuoso and intense. Melissa is a class of her own.
