Congratulations to Bellis Trio's trumpet player Morgana Ortiz for winning the 3rd Trumpet position with the Tucson Symphony Orchestra! She will begin playing with the symphony this fall for their 2022-2023 season.

As you may know, reading music takes a lot of printed paper. According to the EPA, paper waste accounts for more than 23% of total waste in a year which equates to roughly 1 billion trees thrown away in the US alone. The Bellis Trio is doing our best to reduce the amount of paper waste we create by reading scores digitally, using recycled printer paper, and only printing music we plan on performing. If everyone makes small improvements in their use of paper, maybe next year we can see a reduced percentage and save more trees! Happy Earth Day from your favorite tree hugging trio!
