UNI Trombone Seminar with Christopher Dudley

On September 22, 2007, the University of Northern Iowa hosted Christopher Dudley for a series of master classes and a performance with Dr. Buckholz. Mr. Dudley is the principal trombonist of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, and brought with him a wealth of knowledge to share about trombone performance and musicianship.

During the evening performance, Mr. Dudley performed spectacularly on the Tomasi Concerto for Trombone and Mahler's Songs of a Wayfarer on the euphonium. It was our honor to host a supremely talented and generous performer.
