Justin Cook, visiting assistant professor of trombone, said the BearBones was originally formed by retired professor Denis Winter and has performed nationally and internationally.
“I’m excited about this event because of the work the group has put into it and the progress we have made since the beginning of the year,” Cook said. “The group sounds fantastic and we are excited about the opportunity to perform.”
According to the Trombone Studio’s Facebook page, the choir “meets once a week and plays repertoire written specifically for trombone ensembles from 4-16 voices as well as arrangements of pieces written for orchestras, choirs, rock bands and more.”
