Schedule of Events
The third-annual Southeast Trombone Symposium will be held at the Schwob School of Music at Columbus State University June 18-23, 2012. Don't miss this opportunity to work closely with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra trombone section, including Colin Williams and George Curran, and Dr. Bradley Palmer, trombone professor at Columbus State University. We are thrilled to announce a new faculty member that joins us in 2012 to coordinate the new Performer Class at the STS, Dr. Denson Paul Pollard of the New York Metropolitan Opera Orchestra. The Symposium is held in the world-class facilities of the Schwob School of Music at Columbus State University in Columbus, GA, less than 100 miles from Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
We will once again host two competitions at the STS. The S.E. Shires Solo Competition and the Orchestral Excerpts Competition will each offer as a first prize a new Shires trombone set up by the Shires staff at the Symposium. Our other sponsors, Sheridan Brass and Hickey's Music, are once again on board, and will provide well over $1000 of additional prizes to other finalists in both competitions. More information about the competitions can be found in the links below, and please click on "General Information" for more on the three tracks at the 2012 STS (Participant Class, Performer Class and Auditor).
Don't miss your opportunity to apply and audition for the 2012 STS, because your next opportunity to be a part of the Southeast Trombone Symposium will not be until 2014. We are taking a year off in between, as the International Trombone Festival comes to Columbus Georgia in June of 2013. Browse this site for more information, and join our group on Facebook.
