  • Ian Bousfield
    Ian Bousfield 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.

  • Singing and the Trombone: Transcriptions of Selected Vocal Works by Monteverdi, Schubert, Schumann, Wolf, and Britten
    SINGING AND THE TROMBONE: TRANSCRIPTIONS OF SELECTED VOCAL WORKS BY MONTEVERDI, SCHUBERT, SCHUMANN, WOLF, AND BRITTEN By © 2018 Mark E. Sweeney Submitted to the graduate degree program in Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts. ______________________________ Chairperson: Michael Davidson ______________________________ Paul Stevens ______________________________ Brad Osborn ______________________________ Paul W. Popiel ______________________________ Martin Bergee Date Defended: 5/8/2018 The Lecture Recital Committee for Mark E. Sweeney certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: SINGING AND THE TROMBONE: TRANSCRIPTIONS OF SELECTED VOCAL WORKS BY MONTEVERDI, SCHUMANN, WOLF, AND BRITTEN ______________________________ Chairperson: Michael Davidson Date Approved: 5/8/2018 ii ABSTRACT The trombone has been able to blend with voices well since its invention due to its timbre, articulations, full chromaticism, and potential for perfect intonation. Composers used the instrument to double and fortify vocal writing during the end of the fifteenth-century and continued doing so into the nineteenth-century. During the first half of the twentieth-century teachers like Emory Remington began to teach the instrument with a singing approach. This directly counteracted the aggressive and non-legato playing commonly used at the time. To facilitate this singing approach, vocalise etude books like the Melodious Etudes transcriptions of Giulio Marco Bordogni entered the trombone’s standard course of study. Because of the decades of the proven effectiveness of studying vocal music, other teachers like Arnold Jacobs and Charles Vernon continued the tradition of singing and brass playing in the second half of the twentieth-century.

  • HENRY and LEIGH BIENEN SCHOOL of MUSIC FALL 2019 Fanfare First Chair
    HENRY AND LEIGH BIENEN SCHOOL OF MUSIC FALL 2019 fanfare first chair A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN As a new class of talented artist-scholars enters the Bienen School of Music, we celebrate another record year for music admissions, with increases in total applications, selectivity, and yield of admitted students enrolled. This year’s entering students join a school community already brimming with accomplishments. Current and recent students have achieved distinction as recipients of the Avery Fisher Career Grant, the Solti Fellowship, Grammy Awards and nominations, Northwestern’s Presidential Fellowship, and National Endowment for the Arts grants. They have excelled in numerous high-profile contests, including the Tchaikovsky Competition, the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition, the National Association of Teachers of Singing competi- tions, and Downbeat magazine’s student competition. Our graduates continue to win coveted posi- tions in orchestras and academic institutions worldwide. All these achievements are a direct result of the excellence of our distinguished faculty, who are recognized nationally and internationally as leaders in teaching, performance, and scholarship. Demonstrating our graduates’ successes, nearly 200 alumni—representing virtually every major orchestra and US military ensemble—returned to campus in June to celebrate the 50th anniversary of our Symphonic Wind Ensemble (see page 10). The weekend culminated in a special SWE reunion concert, offering vivid proof of how much our alumni value and treasure the educa- tion they received here in the Bienen School. Each year, however, the Bienen School faces constant competition from other leading music schools to attract the most talented college-age students. From this already elite group of potential applicants, the school seeks those who meet Northwestern’s high academic standards for admis- sion.

  • Jeremy Wilson-An Artist's Corner
    AN ARTIST’S CORNER featuring Jeremy Wilson Trombonist Jeremy Wilson is acclaimed for the versatility and lyricism of his playing as well as his insight and commitment as a teacher. Currently Associate Professor of Trombone at Vanderbilt University’s Blair School of Music, Wilson is something of a legend in trombone circles. On his first-ever audition attempt at the age of 25, he won a prestigious position with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and its sister organization, the orchestra of the Vienna State Opera. Just out of college, he honed his performance skills in Vienna as a member of one of the most renowned musical organizations in the world. At the time, he was the orchestras’ only American full-time member, splitting his time between second trombone, first trombone, euphonium, and bass trumpet. During his tenure in Vienna (2007-2012), Wilson performed hundreds of orchestral concerts at home and in 28 countries around the globe under the batons of the world’s leading conductors, including Daniel Barenboim, Pierre Boulez, Gustavo Dudamel, Valery Gergiev, Mariss Jansons, Lorin Maazel, Zubin Mehta, Riccardo Muti, Seiji Ozawa, Sir Simon Rattle, Christian Thielemann, and Franz Welser-Möst. At the Vienna State Opera, he played over 550 performances of 85 different operas and ballets, including five complete Wagner “Ring” cycles. He had the honor of performing with some of the greatest opera singers of our time, including Renée Fleming, Thomas Hampson, Jonas Kaufmann, and Anna Netrebko, and his artistry is documented on numerous recordings. A native of Tennessee, Wilson returned to his home state in 2012 to fulfill his long time passion for teaching and devote more time to his young family.

  • Michael Buchanan Biog 25.09.19
    BIOGRAPHY Michael Buchanan (b. 1993) is considered one of the finest trombone players of his generation. At the age of 22 he was awarded the first prize and audience prize at the 2015 Munich ARD International Music Competition, only the second trombone player in the history of the competition to do so and to date the only British musician. This launched a solo career, leading to accolades such as the 2017 BMW- Publikumspreis at the Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommen, an official “debut” concert together with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin in the Berlin Philharmonie, and a debut at the Lucerne Festival. After initiating a complete career-hiatus from September 2017 to December 2018 in order to further develop, Michael returned to the stage in January 2019. His first public performance led him to be awarded the 2019 Fanny Mendelssohn Fönderpreis, resulting in a CD production to be released in October 2019. As concerto soloist, Michael has performed with orchestras such as the Symphonie-orchester des Bayerisches Rundfunk, the Munich Chamber Orchestra, the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Bern Symphony Orchestra and the Deutsches Symphonie Orchester Berlin. As a recitalist, he has performed at the BeethovenFest Bonn, the Festspiele Mecklenburg Vorpommerln, The Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, the Frauenkirche in Dresden, the Berlin Konzerthaus, Schloss Elmau, and the Lucerne Festival. Equally active as an orchestral musician, in 2016 he joined the Vienna Philharmonic and Vienna State Opera Orchestras in a contract position for the 16-17 season, undergoing multiple tours as principal (solo) trombone. He is also a hand-selected principal player of Seiji Osawa’s Saito Kinen Orchestra in Japan.
