Chosen Vale International Trumpet Seminar Founder and Director Edward Carroll, of Hanover, listens to a suggestion from trumpeter David Green, of Santa Rosa, Calif., right, during a rehearsal of "Call for 8 trumpets" by Jean-Francois Michel, at the Mary Keane Chapel in Enfield, N.H., on Thursday, June 19, 2025. "The piece is like a trip to the dentist," Carroll joked to the ensemble after listening to a dissonant chord echo through the building. It is the 19th year for the seminar, which draws participants and faculty from more than 10 countries. (Valley News - James M. Patterson) Copyright Valley News.
