Dr. Irvin Wagner and the 20th Century Rise of the Trombone’s International Status

This lecture will focus on the late Dr. Irvin Wagner and the work he did from the 1980s-2000s expanding the presence of the International Trombone Association beyond the United States. Additionally, I will be discussing important international figures within the trombone community that I feel should be more well known amongst students in the U.S.

The recital portion will feature works by Sato, Gagliardi, and Suarez.
