Trombonissimo

Four boys in the wind, united as the five fingers of the hand... Is it the Deer song that we hear in the bottom of the wood? Lights... The first notes jail-smooth! Light, magical, crystalline, they make dream, turn copper into gold. All sails out these four trombones take us with their breaths for a trip in time from Paris to Vienna, from Milan to New York...
One for all, all for the trombone! Four musicians, four exceptional virtuosos honour and highlight the richness and diversity of the music composed for this instrument thanks to the colour and sound harmony of their formation. And it is in a gentle musical excursion that we will travel from known landscapes to less usual lands of composers such as Ewazen, Naulais, Geiss and Vanbeslaere...
