Annual ITF programming includes diverse performers.

The Composers’ Workshop occurs during the ITF, with a small cohort of composers chosen from a very competitive pool of applicants. These composers work daily with our featured guests and have their music performed by ITF Presenters and Artists.

Our featured Artists are invited to perform, and they represent the pinnacle of trombone artistry and teaching.

Presenters are chosen from a competitive pool of applicants, and they share full recitals, lectures, and clinics on various topics.

Student Ensembles also apply through a competitive process, and those chosen to perform share prelude concerts before Artist recitals.

The International Trombone Association solo and ensemble competition finals are held at the ITF each year.

Exhibitors populate our expansive exhibit hall with instruments, gadgets, sheet music, and much more.

The Youth Workshop runs alongside and in conjunction with the ITF to support the development of the next generation of trombone artists.

Peter Moore - Howard Trombone Concerto
2025-11-08 19:30 - 21:30 (Europe/London) | The Bridgewater Hall, The Bridgewater Hall, Lower Mosley St, Manchester, M2 3WS, United Kingdom
From the crashing waves and rushing winds of Debussy’s ode to the might and the magic of the sea, to one of Mahler’s most perfect symphonies, this pair of works both explore hope and the healing power of nature. Between them, Belfast-born, Manchester-raised Peter Moore performs the RPS Award-winning trombone concerto by Dani Howard.

Trombone concertos are a rare fixture, but Howard’s virtuosic and ravishing work is appointment listening. Between her lush and minimalist-inflected music, and Moore’s extraordinary artistry (BBC Music Magazine described Peter’s playing as ‘displaying an eloquence and nobility that one might have thought impossible except by the human voice’), this left-of centre work might just be the highlight of this extraordinary concert.

This lively and colourful suite is a brilliant rediscovery by a British composer whose music is finally being brought back to the spotlight.

Dani Howard’s Trombone Concerto is a powerful and uplifting response to the challenges of 2020, written during lockdown as a celebration of human resilience and connection.

Expect dazzling virtuosity from soloist Blair Sinclair, Principal Trombone of Opera North.

Finally, immerse yourself in the sweeping drama and rich romanticism of Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5 in E minor – a symphonic journey through fate, passion, and triumph. This is Tchaikovsky at his most emotionally compelling.
