The Pierre Monteux School is a six week orchestra summer program in Hancock, ME that I attended from 2015-2017. They need trombonists on both tenor (alto) & bass trombone. I've attached the curriculum below. The dates for summer 2022 are June 19-July 31. On top of performing & reading many standard orchestra works, you'll have opportunities to perform chamber music once a week.

The website is: [url]www.monteuxmusic.org

to apply, send a list of links (1 or 2 solo examples and 3-5 orchestral excerpts) and a resume directly to our Interim Music Director, Tiffany Lu, at <EMAIL email="lu.tiffany@gmail.com">lu.tiffany@gmail.com</EMAIL>. She can also answer any questions about the program if contacted directly.

Must be 18 Y/O and vaccinated.

My wife did this for two summers, decades ago.

The best orchestral training imaginable, in a very short, concentrated, intense time in a beautiful location.

Highly recommended! :good:

Good luck with the search! I wish I was 1) good enough and 2) in a position to go. The Musical Director / Conductor of the orchestra I play in went there, and was very close with Michael Jinbo. He first went there years ago when they needed a trumpet player, and it was the start of getting into conducting for him.
