Join Kevin A. Virgilio for an interesting lecture about Danish trombonists and a performance.


Danish composers contributed meaningful repertoire for solo trombone in the early 20th century. Their music has become a lasting part of the catalog, and, over a century later, it continues to grace trombone recital programs the world over.


This presentation is a three-pronged examination into the factors that led Danish composers to begin writing for trombones as a solo instrument, and how it was later performed by the international trombone community as established works: The lecture discusses the rise of trombones in the European renaissance and their eventual assimilation into Danish culture, the stylistic qualities of two pieces written for solo trombone and the musical elements they share with other pivotal works from within the Danish community, and some non-musical factors that helped propagate these trombone solos.
