On December 13 the first in a series of seven Artist Zoom Sessions will be organized by the International Trombone Association. For the kickoff we are extremely honored and excited to host the one and only Christian Lindberg as our first guest. Christian has graciously offered to join us to speak about his a.o. career, practice routines, what has kept him busy during the past 9 months of the pandemic, and further all things trombone.
The Artist Zoom Sessions are open for anyone interested to attend; young, old, professionals, students – it does not matter! The only thing we ask you to do is register your name, country and email beforehand, so we know you will be joining.
Please keep an eye on our webpage for the latest announcements about registering, dates and guests: ITA Artist Zoom Sessions: Christian Lindberg
