ABOUT THE NEW TROMBONE COLLECTIVE

 
 
 
 

'No concert is predictable or the same and you can count on surprise, creativity and innovation!'

New Trombone Collective

Trombonists, they're special people. For the trombone is an instrument you have to work hard on, and work on together. That's the special thing. Trombonists always look for a link, have an open mind and provide as a collective a solid base in orchestras. The collective, that is the highest goal for trombonists and maybe that's also the difference with other instrumentalists...who are traditionally the soloists. 

The result is that the training to be a professional trombonist not only focuses on the individual but also on the collective. Some people in Rotterdam understood that. It started around the late eighties and early nineties. A special club of trombonists came together at the conservatory ... there George Wiegel and later Ben van Dijk, Bart van Lier and Michel Becquet, started working with an unique group of talented students. They began to look for new initiatives for the trombone as an instrument and at the same time these men enhanced the trombone sections in the Dutch orchestras and ensembles.

Since 2001, the collective has a name and the New Trombone Collective exists. This embodies the "spirit" of the real trombonist. Together developing the instrument and together inspiring talent. The close-knit group of friends is active in various areas. They do everything to successfully promote the trombone and its music to the widest possible public. With their unparalleled passion and enthusiasm they have won prizes such as the Elly Ameling Prize and the ITA Award. They also realized great projects such as the European Trombone Festival Slide Factory, the Young Trombone Collective and the tribute to Urbie Green as well as publishing music, cooperating with the tour of the American Sufjan Stevens, Bryce Dessner and Nico Muhly and having their own App. Partly due to its close collaboration with composers, the New Trombone Collective presents surprising combinations of instruments, styles and playing techniques without losing sight of the existing jazz, modern or classical repertoire.

To combine their busy careers with the New Trombone Collective is obviously a challenge. With this they are also creative and often help each other. This means that they are together at least 2x a year for special and inspiring projects in the Netherlands and abroad. No concert is predictable or the same and you can count on surprise, creativity and innovation! Follow the New Trombone Collective via website, newsletter, facebook and app to stay informed and if there's the chance to see them live then don't hesitate. Make sure you're there!

PBONE PROJECT

 
 
 
 
Pbone Logo

Workshops
Het New Trombone Collective, bestaande uit 8 Nederlandse toptrombonisten, wil de trombone bij een zo breed mogelijk publiek bekend maken. Dat doen deze professionals door het geven van concerten en het organiseren van inspirerende evenementen. Met ongekende passie en enthousiasme.

Maar hoe kun je het plezier van trombonespelen beter overbrengen dan mensen het zelf te laten ervaren? Daarom heeft het New Trombone Collective het PBONE Project ontwikkeld. Voor kinderen en volwassenen.

In 1 of meer workshops ga je aan de slag met de pBone. Een felgekleurde plastic trombone. Hoe zit het met ademhalen? Hoe zet je de trombone in elkaar? En vooral; hoe haal je goed geluid uit het instrument? Het komt allemaal aan de orde onder de energieke leiding van Mark Boonstra en zijn collega's. Hij werkt onder meer aan samenspel, ritme en toonhoogte. De workshops resulteren in een swingend optreden waarbij alle deelnemers samen trombone spelen. Succes verzekerd.

 
Pbone Kids Logo

Basisscholen
Het gaat in het onderwijs niet alleen om taal en rekenen. Cultuureducatie is minstens zo belangrijk. Zo draagt muziek bij aan een goede sfeer op school maar ook aan taalontwikkeling, het concentratievermogen en de zelfstandigheid van leerlingen.

Trombone spelen is beweging, je grote motoriek wordt ontwikkeld;
je leert naar elkaar te luisteren, je gehoor en geheugen worden getraind;
en muziek maken is expressie, creativiteit en fantasie worden gestimuleerd.
Dit zijn onderdelen van kerndoelen 54,55 en 56.

Tijdens het PBONE Kids project leren kinderen vanaf groep 4 spelen op echte instrumenten. Dat motiveert. De kleine succesjes (ja, ik krijg er geluid uit!) maken de kinderen zelfverzekerder. En het uiteindelijke resultaat is een spetterend optreden. Dé kans voor de leerlingen om even te stralen op een podium en zich echt artiest te voelen.    

Het New Trombone Collective komt op locatie en neemt de instrumenten mee. De maximaal 60 pBones zijn felgekleurd, onverwoestbaar en licht in gewicht. Ideaal voor een eerste kennismaking met het instrument en ze zorgen voor een vrolijk en kleurrijk geheel.

In samenwerking met de school werkt het New Trombone Collective een passende opzet uit. Dit kan gaan om een muziekweek met meerdere workshops die uitmonden in een spectaculair optreden. Maar ook één muziekdag is mogelijk. Neem contact met ons op en we kijken samen welke opzet het beste past en wat de kosten zijn.

Muziekverenigingen
Als muziekvereniging ben je altijd op zoek naar nieuwe leden. Rond de 6/7 jarige leeftijd proberen kinderen vaak veel verschillende sportieve en culturele bezigheden uit. Met het PBONE Kids project bij de vereniging speel je op deze behoefte in.

Nodig de kinderen bijvoorbeeld uit voor een aantal workshops en laat ze de lol van samen muziekmaken ervaren. Geen risico's voor het instrumentarium van de club want het New Trombone Collective zorgt voor de kunststof trombones. Al na korte tijd zijn de kinderen in staat met elkaar een optreden te verzorgen. Het klinkt en swingt altijd goed want er speelt een ritmebox mee.

Nog leuker is het natuurlijk als de harmonoie of fanfare de begeleiding verzorgt en het onderdeel is van een groter concert of muzikaal spektakel. Zo merken de kinderen echt wat het is om in een orkest voor een groot publiek te spelen. En ze zien en horen welke instrumenten er nog meer zijn en wat daarmee mogelijk is.

Het New Trombone Collective denkt graag mee over een muziekproject bij uw vereniging. Neem contact op voor de mogelijkheden en prijzen.

 

Organiseert u een evenement dat wel een extra boost kan gebruiken? Luister het op door een klankrijk en kleurrijk decor van 50 pBones. Laat bijvoorbeeld jongeren uit uw gemeente in het middelpunt staan en tover het stadshart of dorpsplein om tot een muzikale arena. Of zorg dat uw bedrijf lokaal positief zichtbaar is voor uw doelgroep en organiseer de p-bone workshop voor kinderen uit de omgeving. Ook is de p-bone act zeer geschikt voor een feestelijke opening van uw gebouw of bedrijf. Het p-bone project slaat de brug tussen jeugd, muziekscholen, muziekverenigingen, gemeente, bedrijven en publiek.

Naschoolse opvang
Ouders vinden het prettig als hun kind een leuke tijd heeft na school bij de BSO. Door het bieden van een ruim aanbod aan bezigheden zorg je voor een onderscheidende positie in de markt.

Zinvolle culturele activiteit om na school aan te bieden is het PBONE Kids project. Het New Trombone Collective zorgt voor alle benodigheden en komen op elke gewenste locatie. Neem contact op om te bespreken op welke manier dit muzikale project binnen de opzet van uw BSO zou kunnen passen.

Bedrijven, families, vrienden en organisaties
Hoe maak je het komende seminar, de personeelsdag, familiedag, het vrijgezellenfeest of symposium anders dan anders? Of je nu op zoek bent naar een energieke opening, een intermezzo, een "gekke" workshop, een act om mensen met elkaar in verbinding te brengen of een verrassende afsluiting van een event. De pBone workshop zorgt altijd voor energie, spektakel en plezier.

Een uitdaging is het zeker. In 50 minuten kennismaken met het instrument, leren hoe je hem vastpakt , geluid eruit krijgt en dan nog samen een popnummer laten klinken. Het is mogelijk. Maar lukt het jouw groep? Probeer het gewoon. We komen op elke gewenste locatie en nemen de trombones mee. De slotact kan binnen of buiten plaatsvinden. Meer weten?  Neem contact met ons op en we bespreken graag de mogelijkheden.

DVD Limbo Lounge

In 2008 the Gergiev Festival Rotterdam invited the New Trombone Collective to play a concert in nightclub Off_Corso in Rotterdam. The title of this concert was"Limbo Lounge" which culminated in a dance party. This DVD is a recording of this unique night concert on September 11, 2008.
Until recently, the catholic doctrine said, the limbo is the waiting room of hell. Composer Florian Magnus Maier has always found this idea nonsense. According to him it is a place where you can party - hence Limbo Lounge for trombone collective. The work follows a centuries-old tradition, because since the time of Monteverdi, the trombone served as the voice of the underworld.
