International Trombone Festival

Full info on ITF2008 in Salt Lake City is now availble on www.itf2008.org. Online registration will open within short.

After four smaller events across the globe in Brasilia, Rotterdam, Las Vegas and Beijing during 2007, the International Trombone Festival returns to one major event in 2008, this time hosted by the University of Utah in Salt Lake City from May 28-31.

In a drive to offer some artistic diversity between the festivals, ‘Americana’ is a loose theme that will bind the major elements of this conference. Artists come from North, Central and South America such as the world-renowned American Brass Quintet (which replaces tuba with bass trombone!), Trombones de Costa Rica, and the Viento Sur Trombone Quartet from Argentina.
