Pa. teen trumpet player, Bugles Across America volunteer reaches the next big stage
BRYN MAWR, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- You'd be hard-pressed to find 18-year-old Aidan without his trumpet, whether he is sitting bedside at the VA, playing taps at a military funeral, or touring with the National Youth Orchestra this summer.
Peterson is one of eight musicians from Eastern Pennsylvania and Delaware who earned a spot in the 2024 National Youth Orchestra. He will play the trumpet in the NYO-USA ensemble.
The graduating senior at The Shipley School will start college at The Juilliard School this fall.
Watch our video above to see Aidan practicing the trumpet at the Harcum Music School.
