ANNUAL TROMBONE WORKSHOP AT CSUF
Saturday, April 25, 2009
There will be Trombone Choir Reading Sessions, 
a Master Class by Abbie Conant, a Recital by the Algonquin Quartet, a noon performance by Bones West, a 4 PM concert featuring The CSUF Trombone Ensemble opening for Ms. Conant,
Trombone Merchandise Exhibits and more . . .

Ms. Conant is an internationally acclaimed trombonist who was soloist of the Munich Philharmonic from 1980 to 1993. In recent years she has performed as a soloist in over 60 cities in Europe and America.

She is a full tenured Professor of Trombone at the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik in Trossingen where she replaced Branimir Slokar. CSU students may study with Ms. Conant in Trossingen for a year through the California State University (CSU) International Programs. 

On the second half of the 4 PM concert, Ms. Conant will perform William Osborne's fifty minute work: "Music For the End of Time."  On the first half, the CSUF Trombone Ensemble will perform Mr. Osborne's "Euphonie" for trombone choir and other works.

Bob Sanders, Workshop Host

The Algonquin Quartet . . .
is four trombonists looking for something. They've looked under their beds twice and haven't found it, so they're doing this gig at Trombone Day. Comprised of Jim Miller, Charlie Morillas, Joey Sellers and lead elocutionist, George Thatcher, the Algonquin Quartet is not an ordinary chamber experience. Actually, some have said that they just "aren't right."

Coltrane, Bartok, Monk, Albrechtsberger, Jelly Roll Morton, the poetry of Bukowski and the question of Penelope's fidelity to Odysseus will all be tackled by the Algonquin Quartet.

HIGH SCHOOL TROMBONE QUARTET CONTEST CANCELLED!
Unfortuately, due many scheduling conflicts, it was not possible to attract enough quartets to have a contest this year.  We will try again next year.  A different date is being considered which may help.
