About the Program

International Trombone Week, typically staged in early April, is a global effort created by the International Trombone Association in 2003 to expose millions of people to the sound of the trombone. During this time, the global trombone community—reaching across political borders and language barriers—presents hundreds of trombone-oriented concerts and recitals in a massive PR effort. The UT Trombone Choir extends a hearty thank you to David Garcia, Thein Trombones, Long Island Brass Company and the listed local groups for enhancing tonight's ITW celebration.
