Instrument of Hope (2020)

In June 2019, arranger and composer Kim Scharnberg gathered sixty-six of the finest trumpet players in Los Angeles and New York City to record a new version of "Shine," the anthem written by Sawyer Garrity and Andrea Pena, two student survivors of the Parkland, FL mass shooting. These historic recording sessions were filmed by Academy Award nominated cinematographer and director Mikael Salomon and features legendary players Arturo Sandoval, Wayne Bergeron, Randy Brecker, Terell Stafford, Chuck Findley and many more. The Instrument of Hope is a trumpet crafted of spent bullet casings for Shine MSD, Inc. a non-profit organization founded in the aftermath of the shooting, which uses the arts to promote healing.
