Here it is…….our first adventure into the wonderful world of Orchestral Literature. Within that wonderful world is a mind like few others: Gustav Mahler. Trombonists love him. He has provided us with some of the best musical moments of our lives. We come to his music with great humility and respect; and we work like dogs to do it justice. In this episode, you can peer into our rehearsal as we try to bring the famous chorale section to life…….hope you enjoy it and learn from it.

The players in the section are: Colin Williams, Principal Trombone Ed Nicholson, 2nd Trombone Tom Gibson, 3rd Trombone George Curran, Bass Trombone David Zerkel, Tuba

Thanks to Dr. Brad Palmer and Mark Owens for their help in securing the amazing Legacy Hall at the River Center in Columbus, GA. What a room for brass! Wow……heaven on Earth.
