Ensembles

Projekty - TrombQuartet

TrombQuartet

A trombone quartet, four trombonists, actually four friends. We played our first concert in 2012, but we had already played many rehearsals together, but only for pleasure and the desire to make music together. Since 2012, our trombone family has had two weddings and has grown to include 3 potential new trombonists. We have a lot of classical music in our repertoire. Thanks to excellent arrangements, we perform the most famous pieces of classical music, as well as jazz. We also made it a point of honor to promote Polish music. So far, we have performed and premiered works by, among others, Kazimierz Serocki, Tadeusz Paciorkiewicz, Piotr Moss, Ewa Fabiańska-Jelińska, Magdalena Cynk.

Projekty - Sepia Ensemble

Sepia Ensemble

Contemporary music has become my passion from the moment I met my future wife, Ewa Fabiańska-Jelińska - a wonderful composer who trusted my trombone skills from the very beginning of our relationship and in 2009 she composed a Suite for trombone and piano for me. This is how my adventure with newly written songs began. I think that thanks to this I was asked in 2012 by Artur Kroschel to join a new group performing contemporary music, which they created together with Rafał Zapała. As a result, we currently have an 11-person Sepia Ensemble, which specializes in performing new music. With Sepia, we have performed at least several dozen world premieres of works by composers from Poland and abroad. Currently, together with Ewa and Tomek Sośniak, we are creating the team's program board.

Projekty - Polish Brass Trio

Polish Brass Trio

A trio consisting of a trumpet, French horn and a trombone, including the first trumpeter of the Poznań Philharmonic, the first horn player at the Görlitz theater and a modest trombone player. It would seem that such a line-up of musicians should, in the context of the repertoire, at least compete with a brass quintet. Unfortunately, the repertoire is quite limited and that is why we try to change it by ordering new pieces, not forgetting Polish music and Polish composers.

Projekty - TromboSphere Poland

TromboSphere Poland

TromboSphere trombone octet is a group of trombonists from all over Poland. The musicians are associated with the most important cultural institutions, such as: NOSPR, NFM, Poznań Philharmonic, Baltic Philharmonic, Poznań Grand Theater and Silesian Philharmonic. Despite the fact that the ensemble is young, thanks to outstanding trombonists it quickly expands its repertoire and obtains an exceptional octet sound.

Tromboholizm

Poznań Trombone Music Festival is a unique event that brings together trombonists from all over Poland and Europe. During the Festival, concerts, lectures, and master classes conducted by outstanding trombonists from around the world take place.
