Sam Kalhorn

Sam Kalhorn has been a freelance trumpeter and tutor since 2015. Alumni of his trumpet studio have made all-state ensembles in Nebraska and Iowa, have received
full-ride scholarships to area universities, and some have become freelancers themselves. Mr. Kalhorn holds a master’s degree in jazz trumpet performance from the University of Nebraska at Omaha, specializing in lead trumpet and application of music theory to trumpet practice. Sam is the music director of The Loess Hills Jazz Orchestra, and tours the U.S. with local indie band Magū. Mr. Kalhorn is a top call performer for lead trumpet, chamber music, and weddings/corporate events for some of the best event
organizations in the country. Sam is based in North Omaha, Nebraska. Sam is also an active freelance performer. Bookings for these performances typically happen 3-6 months in advance and Sam will present all scheduling conflicts to parents within the same 3-6-month timeframe whenever possible to avoid the need for rescheduling.
