In August 2025, Bach Brass announced the signing of Jouko Harjanne as their newest member of the trumpet artist roster.

From 1984 to 2024, Harjanne served as a principal trumpet of the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra in Helsinki, Finland. During that time, he was presented with the Brass Player of the Year award at the Lieksa Brass Week, Finland’s most important brass event, and now serves as the Artistic Director of the Festival. In addition to his performance and educational experiences, he has recorded over 35 solo recordings.

Harjanne plays on the Bach C190SL229x and 190S37 trumpets.
