The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra is leading a BTS trombone day in Dorset on 19th September.

 

The BSO's Principal Trombone Kevin Morgan will take us through a series of  warm ups and massed blows spaced out through the day. This year the music will include some new arrangements with a swing band flavour.  In the afternoon Robb Tooley, recently appointed to the BSO, will perform Dan Jenkins' Trombone Concerto accompanied by the St. Aldhelms Orchestra conducted by his colleague Kevin Smith.

There will be several trade stands for all to 'browse and buy' from during the day.

The Royal Marines have also been invited to provide a stand as they are currently recruiting trombonists (maybe if I dyed my hair?)

The venue is a spacious concert hall at Lytchett Minster School, Post Green Lane Poole Dorset BH16 6JD, about 5 miles West of Poole in the lovely Dorset countryside.

The day is open to any BTS member AND non members but we need to charge to cover the cost of hall hire as follows:

BTS Members - £10

Non-members - £12

Under 16yrs old and seniors over 60 years old (members and non-members) - £8
