International Trombone Festival

The International Trombone Festival is excited to welcome participants to the 41st annual event. Paris, France is one of the most beautiful, historically rich cities in the world and will serve as the perfect venue for the Festival. With the generous support of Courtois, the host, Jacques Mauger has organized an event that takes us back to a location that was the genesis of so much trombone history and literature, not to mention one of the world's great cultural attractions. Plan to join us July 4 - 7 at the Conservatoire Rayonnement Régional for an internationally acclaimed array of artists who will make this one of the most exciting and memorable Festivals ever.

The Jr. ITF is now in its fourth year. It is for anyone that has played for at least one year up to anyone that has not yet entered a college or conservatory. The Jr. ITF will run during the mornings of the ITF. They will again have their own schedule and Faculty. Some of the ITF artists will be presenting Master Classes for the Jr. ITF. The site for the Jr. ITF will be the Conservatoire so the Jr. ITF participants will be able to finish their day at the ITF.

As always, there will be a strong showing of exhibitors at the Festival. They have already begun to reserve their exhibit space.

Please visit the Festival website - www.itf2012.org. You'll find a lot of information already there with more being added as it becomes ready. Registration for the Festival will be open soon.
