Cape Symphony + Jazz at Lincoln Center to present ‘On the Road with Summer Camargo.’ 

Summer Camargo, 21, a trumpet student at The Juilliard School and Jerome Greene Fellowship recipient, is entering her fifth year of college majoring in Jazz Studies. Summer, born and raised in Hollywood, Florida, most recently joined Lenny Pickett and The Saturday Night Live House Band on NBC, recorded her debut album (which will be out in winter 2024) under Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Blue Engine, won first place in the International Trumpet Guild’s Ryan Anthony Trumpet Memorial Competition, covered for Wynton Marsalis on the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra’s 2022 Big Band Holidays Tour, and has been performing with her sextet in prestigious venues in NYC such as Dizzy’s and Birdland. She is the first ever triple crown winner in the history of Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Essentially Ellington, winning in 2018 the Ella Fitzgerald Best Soloist award, the J. Douglas White Student Composition Contest, and winning first place in the festival with her high school, Dillard Center for the Arts. As a composer, she has had two of her original big band compositions performed by the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra in Rose Hall, one of them performed during their gala in spring of 2022. Summer is a proud Conn Selmer/Bach artist.

On the Road with Summer Camargo is hosted by “Cape Symphony Presents,” a new event promoting arm of Cape Symphony that provides opportunities to artists by welcoming them through performances to the community of Cape Cod and the Islands.
