Trombone Quartet
My trombone quartet Refraction: Three Gestural Reflections will be published on an album of brass music this coming June. Brass Tacks 3 will be released as a digital album by Navona Records (NV6714) on June 6, 2025.
This three movement composition was recorded in January by members of the Czech Philharmonic Low Brass Ensemble in Prague. The recording is top notch - the performers were incredible!
