The Texas Christian University in Fort Worth will hold a convention for trombonists in May.
The International Trombone Festival is an event for trombone enthusiasts of all skill levels where they can interact with fellow musicians and hear performances from talented trombonists. Several talented solo artists will participate in the fest, including José Milton Viera, Hillary Simms, and Vincent Gardner. Attendees can also listen to ensembles like the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra and John Wasson's Strata Big Band. The event is hosted by Dave Begnoche.
