About the Event

SDSU faculty Dr. Eric Starr will present the second annual Trombonanza, a recital celebrating the versatility of the trombone. Featuring repertoire spanning from the Baroque era to contemporary works, the program highlights the instrument’s broad expressive range and often-underappreciated role as a solo voice. This recital invites audiences to experience a diverse variety of musical styles and instrumentations.

This bold, eclectic program spans centuries and styles, opening with James Tenney’s meditative Swell Piece and Timothy McCormack’s dense, immersive Heavy Matter. C.P.E. Bach’s Unaccompanied Sonata offers elegant contrast, while Henri Tomasi’s Être ou ne pas être dramatizes Hamlet’s soliloquy through powerful solo performance. Tommy Pedersen’s Blue Topaz adds jazzy flair, and Radiohead’s Motion Picture Soundtrack brings haunting beauty in a striking new arrangement. The evening closes with Haydn’s radiant Achieved is the Glorious Work, a fitting finale celebrating musical creation in all its forms.
