Trombone Choir
The UTA Trombone Choir is an ensemble consisting of 8-18 trombonists who meet as an extension of the trombone studio. Typical repertoire ranges from Renaissance transcriptions to the latest contemporary works and has included premieres of pieces by UT Arlington student composers. The pedagogical focus here is on refining ensemble performance skills such as blend, balance and intonation, in a like-instrument setting and with the intent of improving section playing which will transfer to other traditional large ensembles such as wind ensemble and orchestra. Trombone choir typically meets once a week. The UTA Trombone Choir generally performs once or twice each semester and has appeared with a number of guest artists, as well as winning the International Trombone Association's prestigious Remington Competition and subsequently appearing at the International Trombone Workshop.
