Welcome to the 46th International Festival! I want to thank you all for supporting this wonderful event at the University of Redlands. Dr. Glendening has put together an amazing festival for all of us to enjoy. You will hear some of the best trombonists in the world in performance, attend some of the most educational masterclasses and clinics and be humbled when you stop by one of the ITF competitions and hear some of our finest young players. Feel free to try some of the many new trombone models at the instrument exhibits. The International Trombone Festival is the premiere trombone event anywhere and this year’s festival promises to be one of the best ever.

Joseph Alessi Principal Trombone, Philharmonic President, International Trombone Association

I am delighted to welcome you to the University of Redlands as host of the 2017 International Trombone Festival—the world’s largest annual trombone festival. This important gathering celebrates different genres and enhances the interests of trombone players of all ages and abilities from around the globe. Our campus is a unique setting to provide a forum for exchanging expertise and knowledge, and for showcasing amazing talent in beautiful and time-honored performance spaces while we enjoy our mutual love of music. Thanks in no small part to Dean Andrew Glendening and his team, whose vision and leadership continue to enhance the School of Music and increase its visibility and prestige, both here and abroad, as one of our most celebrated centers of distinction at the University of Redlands. I encourage you to indulge all your senses and experience the ultimate “sense of place” in our historic community, where music is so much a part of our 110-year history that, notably, more than half of our original university faculty members were professors of music. Take some time to wander around our campus while you are here. The campus’s iconic Beaux Arts-style Administration Building offers breathtaking views of the mountains from its advantageous hilltop position where one can imagine the founders’ ability to dream great things and endow the land below them with music forevermore. May you enjoy the many activities the organizing committee has lined up for the festival and experience thrilling musical moments while you are with us in Redlands!

Ralph W. Kuncl President Univeristy of Redlands

2 46th Annual International Trombone Festival WELCOME

Thank you for joining us in Redlands to celebrate all things trombone! This Festival has been two years in the making and is based around the idea that no musician is the product of one event, school, teacher or experience, but is rather the sum of those experiences. Our goal was to create an exciting program with a rich diversity of music, ideas and culture to help you find inspiration in many different venues, styles and genres. You will have many choices – and choose you must, as we’ve packed as much as possible into the schedule. I want to congratulate all of the artists and ensembles for initiating an unprecedented number of world premiere performances. Commissioning new pieces takes a great deal of effort, investment, and risk, but is essential work in our field. The variety of works to be premiered is truly amazing and points to a bright future for our profession. Just as a musician is the product of many teachers, this ITF is the product of many people. This Festival would not have happened without the hard work of our graduate assistants: Andrea Massey, Julia Broome-Robinson and Joel Rangel, and the staff of the School of Music: Pamela Martinez, Michael Raco-Rands and Brad Andrews. I hope that you enjoy the music, the campus and the city, finding great inspiration to energize your passion for the trombone.

Regards,

Dr. Andrew R. Glendening, Dean School of Music
