Last Monday, the Baltimore community lost a great public servant when Baltimore County Officer Amy Caprio was killed in the line of duty. Andrew Balio played a short Requiem for solo trumpet at her funeral, as he has done since 2004 at events honoring public servants. Next to him is U.S. Customs Special Agent Earl Cottman, a longtime BSO fan who composed the piece and arranges for it to be played at tributes such as this. The BSO musicians offer our condolences to this brave officer’s family and friends.
