[Trombone-l] Bass Trombone and Orchestra Favorites

[Philip Brink]

There is the Tom Ritter George Concerto as well, and the Vaughan Williams
works well on bass trombone.

As a side note, I will premiere a new [well, not previously played] concerto
written for me by Kerry Turner of the American Horn Quartet with my
orchestra, the Thailand Philharmonic [TPO] on January 30th and 31st. The
concerts take place at the Music Auditorium of the College of Music [MACM]
at Mahidol University, Salaya, at 7:00 on the 39th and 4:00 on the 31st. I
believe Kerry has published it... Check his home page KerryTurner.com.
