Trombone

Trombone

András chose the trombone at a young age due to its versatility, somehow finding the golden middle ground between the sharp trumpet sound and the soft-toned tuba. Solo performances in competitions have always appealed to him, but he also finds his place in chamber music. Moreover, he’s truly fascinated by how the trombone seamlessly blends into the harmony in orchestral pieces. This is why, along with the abundance of seemingly endless symphonic works, he can envision himself in an orchestra in the future. Through his trombone playing, he aims to show the audience the endless possibilities hidden within his instrument, and how music can express a multitude of emotions beyond just sadness and happiness.
