Retired after fifty-five seasons as principal trumpet of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Bud Herseth is widely admired for his virtuosity and musicality. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest orchestral trumpeters of his generation. For decades, he passed on the keys to technical mastery and his love for orchestral music to students through his work with the CSO's Civic Orchestra, a training orchestra for young players.
He was a student of Boston Symphony Orchestra trumpeters Marcel LaFosse (second trumpet) and Georges Mager (principal trumpet) at the New England Conservatory of Music. Herseth graduated from Luther College in Iowa.
