| Brass Symposium |
The Great American Brass Band Festival 2013 Celebrating the Trombone The Brass Symposium represents a continuation and transformation of the GABBF’s Band History Conference. Experts in trombone, brass, and brass band performance, literature, and history will present a wide range of short concerts laced with informative discussion and reflection. Soloists include some of the world’s finest trombonists: Wycliffe Gordon, Brett Baker, Scott Hartmann, and Martin McCain. The award-winning university level Black Dyke Band Youth Trombone Quartet from England and Commonwealth Trombones, made up of trombone professors from Kentucky’s major music programs will offer an amazing variety of trombone ensemble music. A GABBF favorite, Millennium Brass Quintet, returns to the Festival for the centerpiece luncheon concert, backing up its’ own Scott Hartmann. Two outstanding British-style brass bands round out the line up: The Georgia Brass Band, and the Lexington Brass Band. The GABBF is cooperating with local and state education offices so that delegates may apply for continuing education credit for having been fully involved in the Brass Symposium, and by extension, the entire GABBF.
