Scotland set for trombone day
Monday 1 February 2016
BRASS players are being invited to slide into the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland for a packed day of events celebrating the trombone.
The sessions, organised by the British Trombone Society (BTS), are taking place on Sunday, April 17 and will include workshops delivered by leading exponents of the instrument. There will also be performances from Bones Apart and Royal Conservatoire Brass at the event, which gets underway at 10am.
Dávur Juul Magnussen will lead a session on extended techniques and Tony George will offer an insight into early brass instruments.
Those attending will also enjoy input from Simon Johnson and Mark Frost while jazz specialist Chris Greive will offer a special performance of Led Zeppelin.
Entry to the event is free, but registration is required by logging on to the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland website.
