Five Pieces for Tenor and Bass Trombone… Dexter Merrill

1. Intrada 2. Song 3. Tiny Rondo 4. Lament

5. Slider MSG Matthew Wozniak & Dr. Douglas Mark

Program Notes for Five Pieces for Tenor and Bass Trombone The Five Pieces were composed during a time when I had been composing a lot of trombone music for various trombone ensembles and professional players, and these five short pieces are intended for recital performances. Since my student days and my early study with Bill Russo, a fine composer/arranger and trombonist with the Kenton band in the nineteen fifties, trombone sounds have been ringing in my ears, and led me to compose a concerto, several recital and chamber pieces, and large choir pieces for the Eastman and North Texas Trombone Choirs. I have been fortunate to work with great performers and their playing has been inspirational. One of the five pieces, Lament was drawn from my Trombone Concerto, and the remaining pieces are new, but similar in length and design. The final piece, Slider has a brief recitative for the two players before a final burst of energy to the end. I found it especially interesting to feature both instruments, with their distinctive timbres and registers, and to find the right spacing for notes when they join to make a rich choral sound.. Bios Tom Burge - Hailing from Sydney, Australia, trombonist Thomas Burge has been a member of the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra since February 2006.

Loboda Studio Larry Zalkind Masterclass

When he was eight years old, trombonist Larry Zalkind jumped at the chance to enter the music program at his local elementary school. Inspired by his favorite group, the Tijuana Brass, he had always wanted to play the trumpet. But there were no trumpets left, and his school music teacher Nora Graham settled the issue by declaring, “You look like a trombone player to me!” His fate sealed, Zalkind carried the enormous trombone case home from school with the help of a fellow third grader. After studying with Harold Diner and Norman Bernstein, Larry entered the California Institute of the Arts Youth program in the eighth grade, where he coached chamber music with Los Angeles Tubist Tommy Johnson. By the age of 17, Larry was studying with Robert Marsteller as a student at the University of Southern California. Other highly influential teachers include Arnold Jacobs, Lewis Van Haney, Jimmy Stamp, Tommy Johnson, Ralph Sauer, Dennis Smith, Byron Peebles and Terry Cravens. He went on to major in music education and to receive a masters degree in music during his time at USC. In the fall of 1981, while pursuing his doctorate in music performance at the University of Michigan, the 25-year-old won the audition to become Principal Trombonist for the Utah Symphony, a position he has held since 1981. In 1976, Larry won the Saunderson Award at the Coleman Chamber Music Competition. He has toured, recorded, and performed extensively as a member of the Summit Brass on trombone and euphonium since 1990. He has also performed with Chamber Music Northwest in Portland, Oregon; Music of the Baroque in Chicago; the Colorado Music Festival in Boulder; the Grand Teton Music Festival in Jackson Hole, Wyoming; the Eastern Trombone Workshop in Washington, DC, and the Elkhorn Music Festival in Sun Valley, Idaho. He spent the 2009/10 seasons performing as Associate Principal Trombone with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and has performed and recorded with the Chicago, Atlanta, and St. Louis symphonies. Larry also performed as a member of the Long Beach Symphony before moving to Utah. Larry has been

featured as soloist with the Fairbanks Symphony, the Southwest Symphony, the West Los Angeles Symphony, the Billings Symphony, the Twin Falls Symphony, the Macon Symphony, the Burbank (California) Chamber Orchestra, and the Central Oregon Symphony, in addition to the New Sousa Band, the Ringgold Band, the Pierce Symphonic Winds, the U.S. Army Orchestra, and the Denver Municipal Band. He was the solo euphonium with the Long Beach Municipal Band from 1977 to 1980 and has been a member of the Tubadors tuba quartet since 1978. Larry has released two solo CDs on the Summit Records label, with a third on the way. His first CD, Larry Zalkind Plays Baroque Music on the Trombone, features Baroque music on the trombone in different settings; his second, Encore!, features different types of encores performed with trombone and piano (www.zalkindmusic.com). His third CD, Lost in the Stars, is a jazz CD coming out in the spring on the Summit Records label. Mr. Zalkind has been a faculty member at the University of Utah for 30 years. He has served as clinician in many music festivals around the U.S., including the International Trombone Association Trombone Festival, the 76+4 Trombone Workshop at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas, and the International Tuba-Euphonium Conference. He has served on the faculty of the Hartwick Summer Music Festival in New York, the Batiquitos Festival of the Arts in San Diego, the Grand Teton Orchestral Seminar in Wyoming, and the Marrowstone Music Festival in Port Townsend, Washington. He has also held faculty positions at Cerritos College in California, Albion College in Michigan, Westminster College in Salt Lake City, and Weber State College in Ogden, Utah. Larry is married to Utah Symphony Associate Principal Violist Roberta Zalkind. They began dating while both were students at the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara, California. They have three children: Ben, Matt, and Aaron. This coming season, Larry will perform his 31st season at the Grand Teton Music Festival and will again participate as a member of the Summit Brass in the Rafael Mendez/Summit Brass Institute in Denver, Colorado. He will participate in other recitals and master classes around the country, including as soloist with the Utah Wind Symphony, The Eastern Trombone Workshop, and he will complete a residency in Japan as a guest of the Hyogo Performing Arts Center Orchestra.

Minor Studio Guest Artist Recital

Composition Competition Winner …TBA

Over the years our workshop has evolved as a gathering place for trombonists from around the world. This congregation of talent provides the ingredients for new, progressive ideas and concepts to be shared with those who have a love of the instrument. Our hope is to offer an avenue for composers to showcase their particular talents by giving them the opportunity to compose new literature for the trombone canon. Each year the composer whose piece is selected by committee will be performed during the workshop. It is our desire to add to the body of literature for a number of different genre to include solo works with piano, trombone quartets and solo works with large ensemble. Therefore, we will set specific guidelines from year to year.

Ian Bousfield Recital With Joel Ayau, piano

Program to be Announced from Stage

Ian Bousfield - has been at the top of the profession for over one quarter of a century, excelling in perhaps more facets of the music business than any other trombonist to date. His career has included playing in two of the acknowledged top-four orchestras in the world, one of which is recognized as perhaps the greatest opera orchestra, performing as a soloist to the highest possible level with orchestras, brass bands and on period instruments, recording as a soloist on top labels, playing theme tracks to Hollywood blockbusters and teaching at the Royal Academy in London. Born in York in 1964, Ian is a product of the famous brass band tradition in the north of England. His earliest teaching came from his father and from Dudley Bright, who in a strange twist, was later to replace Ian in the London Symphony Orchestra. The main spell that Ian enjoyed in the brass band movement was with the Yorkshire Imperial Band between the ages of 14 and 18, during which time he was fortunate to win the the National Championships (1978), the British Open (1981) and the Yorkshire Championships on two occasions (1980, 1981) with the band. In 1979, at the age of 15, Ian won the Shell London Symphony Orchestra

scholarship, at which point his career began to move undeniably in the direction of orchestras. He joined the European Youth Orchestra aged 16 under Claudio Abbado and made a brief stop at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London before becoming Principal Trombone in the Halle Orchestra in 1983. During his time in Manchester he performed the UK premiere of Eine Kleine Posaunenmusik by Gunther Schuller, with the composer conducting. After five years with the Halle, Ian replaced one of his life-long mentors, Denis Wick, as Principal Trombone of the London Symphony Orchestra in 1988, where he enjoyed a 12 year career, was featured as a soloist with the orchestra on several occasions and recorded the soundtracks to many films, including Star Wars: Episode I and Braveheart. In 2000, following a successful audition in Vienna, Ian became Principal Trombone of the Vienna Philharmonic/Vienna State Opera – the first, and to date, only British member in the orchestra’s history. This appointment was followed shortly afterwards by his membership of the Vienna Hofkapelle Orchestra. As a soloist, Ian has, amongst others, performed with the Vienna Philharmonic, London Symphony, London Philharmonic, BBC Philharmonic, Halle Orchestra, Sapporo Symphony, Austin Symphony. He has worked with the following conductors: Riccardo Muti, Michael Tilson Thomas, Sir Neville Marriner, Kent Nagano, Ion Marin and Matthias Bamert, and EMI, Camerata, Chandos and Doyen are amongst the labels for whom Ian has made several solo recordings over the years. Probably the two highlights of Ian’s solo career to date have been performing the Nina Rota Concerto with the Vienna Philharmonic and Riccardo Muti (2008) three times in Vienna, as well as in The Lucerne Festival and in Tokyo, and giving the world premiere of Jonathan Dove’s Stargazer, written for and dedicated to Ian, with the London Symphony Orchestra under Michael Tilson Thomas (2007). He has performed with all of the world’s major brass bands, recording with many of them. He has appeared as a soloist pretty much everywhere in the world, and as a clinician, it’s probably easier to mention the conservatories and festivals at which he has not appeared! Ian is currently Professor of Trombone at the Hochschule der Künste in Bern, Switzerland, a position he has held since September 2011. Having had a relationship with the Royal Academy of Music in London since 1992, where he has been awarded an Honorary Membership. He will be returning as a member of staff as of September 2012. He is also currently International Fellow of Brass at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. His list of former students includes some of our current most successful players in orchestras around the world.

He has contributed on albums for many popular artists,

including the Pussycat Dolls, Coldplay, and Michael Buble. His television credits include every major awards show: the Grammys, the Emmys, the Academy Awards, the Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Andy has been the lead trombonist on the wildly popular television show, “Dancing With The Stars” in every season dating back to its inception in 2005. He was also lead trombonist for the mega-hit show, “American Idol” in seasons 1-3.

As an instructor himself, Andy has influenced countless young players. He has appeared at many colleges and universities throughout the country as a guest artist and clinician, and can be contacted regarding availability. The broad range of his career is a credit to his exceptional talent. He counts among his influences the trombone greats Frank Rosolino and Carl Fontana, as well as saxophonist Michael Brecker and trumpeter Clifford Brown. He has incorporated these different elements into a personal style that is a balance of accuracy and spontaneity, discipline and creativity. He covers the whole range of the instrument with the same warm tone and impeccable articulation, and is equally adept in all styles, with a vocabulary of ideas that never grows stale. His exciting improvisations and melodic fluidity showcase a level of technique hardly matched among trombonists.

Larry Zalkind - When he was eight years old, trombonist Larry Zalkind jumped at the chance to enter the music program at his local elementary school. Inspired by his favorite group, the Tijuana Brass, he had always wanted to play the trumpet. But there were no trumpets left, and his school music teacher Nora Graham settled the issue by declaring, “You look like a trombone player to me!” His fate sealed, Zalkind carried the enormous trombone case home from school with the help of a fellow third grader. After studying with Harold Diner and Norman Bernstein, Larry entered the California Institute of the Arts Youth program in the eighth grade, where he coached chamber music with Los Angeles Tubist Tommy Johnson. By the age of 17, Larry was studying with Robert Marsteller as a student at the University of Southern California. Other highly influential teachers include Arnold Jacobs, Lewis Van Haney, Jimmy Stamp, Tommy Johnson, Ralph Sauer, Dennis Smith, Byron Peebles and Terry Cravens. He went on to major in music education and to receive a masters degree in music during his time at USC. In the

fall of 1981, while pursuing his doctorate in music performance at the University of Michigan, the 25-year-old won the audition to become Principal Trombonist for the Utah Symphony, a position he has held since 1981. In 1976, Larry won the Saunderson Award at the Coleman Chamber Music Competition. He has toured, recorded, and performed extensively as a member of the Summit Brass on trombone and euphonium since 1990. He has also performed with Chamber Music Northwest in Portland, Oregon; Music of the Baroque in Chicago; the Colorado Music Festival in Boulder; the Grand Teton Music Festival in Jackson Hole, Wyoming; the Eastern Trombone Workshop in Washington, DC, and the Elkhorn Music Festival in Sun Valley, Idaho. He spent the 2009/10 seasons performing as Associate Principal Trombone with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and has performed and recorded with the Chicago, Atlanta, and St. Louis symphonies. Larry also performed as a member of the Long Beach Symphony before moving to Utah. Larry has been featured as soloist with the Fairbanks Symphony, the Southwest Symphony, the West Los Angeles Symphony, the Billings Symphony, the Twin Falls Symphony, the Macon Symphony, the Burbank (California) Chamber Orchestra, and the Central Oregon Symphony, in addition to the New Sousa Band, the Ringgold Band, the Pierce Symphonic Winds, the U.S. Army Orchestra, and the Denver Municipal Band. He was the solo euphonium with the Long Beach Municipal Band from 1977 to 1980 and has been a member of the Tubadors tuba quartet since 1978. Larry has released two solo CDs on the Summit Records label, with a third on the way. His first CD, Larry Zalkind Plays Baroque Music on the Trombone, features Baroque music on the trombone in different settings; his second, Encore!, features different types of encores performed with trombone and piano (www.zalkindmusic.com). His third CD, Lost in the Stars, is a jazz CD coming out in the spring on the Summit Records label. Mr. Zalkind has been a faculty member at the University of Utah for 30 years. He has served as clinician in many music festivals around the U.S., including the International Trombone Association Trombone Festival, the 76+4 Trombone Workshop at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas, and the International Tuba-Euphonium Conference. He has served on the faculty of the Hartwick Summer Music Festival in New York, the Batiquitos Festival of the Arts in San Diego, the Grand Teton Orchestral Seminar in Wyoming, and the Marrowstone Music Festival in Port Townsend, Washington. He has also held faculty positions at Cerritos College in California, Albion College in Michigan, Westminster College in Salt Lake City, and Weber State College in Ogden, Utah. Larry is married to Utah Symphony Associate Principal Violist Roberta Zalkind. They began dating while both were students at the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara, California. They have three children: Ben, Matt, and Aaron. This coming season, Larry will perform his 31st season at the Grand Teton Music Festival and will again participate as a member of the Summit Brass in the Rafael Mendez/Summit Brass Institute in Denver, Colorado. He will participate in other recitals and master classes around the country, including as soloist with the Utah Wind Symphony, The Eastern Trombone Workshop, and he will complete a residency in Japan as a guest of the Hyogo Performing Arts Center Orchestra. A Yamaha Artist, Larry has been heavily involved in the design of a new large-bore tenor trombone and alto trombone, both of which he currently plays.

Primarily a bass trombone player, Bill also plays tenor trombone, contra bass trombone, euphonium and tuba. The Bill Reichenbach Quartet CD continues to be heard on jazz radio stations throughout the country. For more info go to BillReichenbach.com. Ian Bousfield - has been at the top of the profession for over one quarter of a century, excelling in perhaps more facets of the music business than any other trombonist to date. His career has included playing in two of the acknowledged top-four orchestras in the world, one of which is recognized as perhaps the greatest opera orchestra, performing as a soloist to the highest possible level with orchestras, brass bands and on period instruments, recording as a soloist on top labels, playing theme tracks to Hollywood blockbusters and teaching at the Royal Academy in London. Born in York in 1964, Ian is a product of the famous brass band tradition in the north of England. His earliest teaching came from his father and from Dudley Bright, who in a strange twist, was later to replace Ian in the London Symphony Orchestra. The main spell that Ian enjoyed in the brass band movement was with the Yorkshire Imperial Band between the ages of 14 and 18, during which time he was fortunate to win the the National Championships (1978), the British Open (1981) and the Yorkshire Championships on two occasions (1980, 1981) with the band. In 1979, at the age of 15, Ian won the Shell London Symphony Orchestra scholarship, at which point his career began to move undeniably in the direction of orchestras. He joined the European Youth Orchestra aged 16 under Claudio Abbado and made a brief stop at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London before becoming Principal Trombone in the Halle Orchestra in 1983. During his time in Manchester he performed the UK premiere of Eine Kleine Posaunenmusik by Gunther Schuller, with the composer conducting. After five years with the Halle, Ian replaced one

of his life-long mentors, Denis Wick, as Principal Trombone of the London Symphony Orchestra in 1988, where he enjoyed a 12 year career, was featured as a soloist with the orchestra on several occasions and recorded the soundtracks to many films, including Star Wars: Episode I and Braveheart. In 2000, following a successful audition in Vienna, Ian became Principal Trombone of the Vienna Philharmonic/Vienna State Opera – the first, and to date, only British member in the orchestra’s history. This appointment was followed shortly afterwards by his membership of the Vienna Hofkapelle Orchestra. As a soloist, Ian has, amongst others, performed with the Vienna Philharmonic, London Symphony, London Philharmonic, BBC Philharmonic, Halle Orchestra, Sapporo Symphony, Austin Symphony. He has worked with the following conductors: Riccardo Muti, Michael Tilson Thomas, Sir Neville Marriner, Kent Nagano, Ion Marin and Matthias Bamert, and EMI, Camerata, Chandos and Doyen are amongst the labels for whom Ian has made several solo recordings over the years. Probably the two highlights of Ian’s solo career to date have been performing the Nina Rota Concerto with the Vienna Philharmonic and Riccardo Muti (2008) three times in Vienna, as well as in The Lucerne Festival and in Tokyo, and giving the world premiere of Jonathan Dove’s Stargazer, written for and dedicated to Ian, with the London Symphony Orchestra under Michael Tilson Thomas (2007). He has performed with all of the world’s major brass bands, recording with many of them. He has appeared as a soloist pretty much everywhere in the world, and as a clinician, it’s probably easier to mention the conservatories and festivals at which he has not appeared! Ian is currently Professor of Trombone at the Hochschule der Künste in Bern, Switzerland, a position he has held since September 2011. Having had a relationship with the Royal Academy of Music in London since 1992, where he has been awarded an Honorary Membership. He will be returning as a member of staff as of September 2012. He is also currently International Fellow of Brass at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. His list of former students includes some of our current most successful players in orchestras around the world.
