Frühling Posaunen
Penn State University
State College, PA.

I will present a master class/clinic and will be the featured soloist with the Penn State University Trombone Choir, performing James M. Stephenson’s Road Not Taken.

Penn State University will host the 24th Annual Frühling Posaunen. The title, which translates into “Spring Trombones,” was suggested by Dr. John Marcellus, Professor of Trombone at the Eastman School of Music. He along with Mr. Mark Lusk, Professor of Trombone at Penn State University, and Dr. Harold Reynolds, Professor of Trombone at Ithaca College, met in 1989 in order to establish this annual event to help promote the trombone.
