Connection with Professor Brought Grad Student to BYU

Arjang “RJ” Abrarpour would not trade his unique BYU experience for anything.
During his graduate program as a trumpet performance student, Abrarpour received a graduate mentoring award to organize the first-ever BYU Trumpet Festival. The event took place in January 2020, just before the pandemic hit.

For the festival, BYU hosted more than a dozen internationally renowned guest artists, including the iconic Tonight Show bandleader Doc Severinsen. More than 100 participants attended from three countries and 13 states, and they ranged in age from 8 to 93.
“We are talking about the all-star lineup of trumpet players,” Abrarpour said. “Everyone was in awe that we got them to come out and do the festival with us.”
