I will be presenting my lecture recital on the late Dr. Irvin Wagner in January at the 2025 Big 12 Trombone Conference.

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.
