International Masterclass 'Historical Trombone'
Trombone Soundscape
From the 7th to the 9 th of October, 2022, the first Historical Trombone Masterclass will take place during the Heder Heide Festival in Kalmthout. (Belgium)
At this unique event we will focus on playing a large collection of historical trombones with their original mouthpieces. Participants will become acquainted with and deepen their knowledge of the different types of historical trombones of the last 500 years. Music which was composed for each instrument will be performed.
Ensemble playing will be emphasised and each group will perform the historic repertoire with compositions from Josquin Desprez, Alessandro Striggio, Giovanni Gabrieli, Heinrich Schütz, Daniel Speer, Ludwig van Beethoven, Anton Bruckner, François-Joseph Fétis among others.
