Trombone Choir
|
Directed by Nathaniel Brickens, the Trombone Choir was founded in the fall of 1972 by professor emeritus and trombone legend, Donald Knaub. The ensemble serves as a laboratory extension of the UT trombone studio and specializes in performing original music written for 4- to 16-part ensembles of trombones. Students are afforded an opportunity to perform works that push the limits of 20th-century trombone technique while focusing on aesthetic elements such as balance, blend, intonation, timbre and style. As a testament to their artistry, the Trombone Choir was featured at the 2002 Eastern Trombone Workshop (Arlington, VA) and was named winners of the 2002 Emory Remington International Trombone Choir Competition. The Jazz Bones, a subset of the trombone choir program, were winners of the 2001 International Trombone Association’s Kai Winding Jazz Trombone Ensemble Competition, and presented a spotlight concert at the International Trombone Festival in Nashville, TN.
