Remembering Denis Wick

Denis Wick, legendary trombonist, pedagogue, mouthpiece designer and past President of our organization has passed away, leaving behind an extraordinary legacy in the brass world. As the former principal trombonist of the London Symphony Orchestra, his influence extended far beyond performance – his teaching shaped generations of trombonists, and his line of mouthpieces and mutes remains a staple for brass players worldwide. His contributions to trombone playing and brass pedagogy will continue to resonate for years to come. Rest in peace, Denis!
