Additional Info

Euphonium.net is proud to announce a new collaboration between Steven Mead and the trombone quartet,Trombonisti Italia.

The quartet, led by the charismatic Lito Fontana, approached Steven about a year ago and the project resulted in a CD recording and several concerts in the diary came to fruition, and how!!

The three day recording session in the centre of Rome 10-12 February was just fantastic with both Steve and the Quartet on top form. The project was co-ordinated by Gerhard Myer, of Pro-Cultura, Austria.

The musical arrangements for the CD were nearly all specially made, 5 of them by the amazing Maurice Bale who provided most of the arrangements for Steve’s Euphonium Magic multitrack CD. Other were made by arrangers associated with Lito Fontana. The styles reflect the huge potential of such a combination and the combined virtuoso talents of Steve and the trombone quartet. Lito is a famous jazz musician who has encouraged Steve to jam with him on a few tracks!

Already many concert enquires are being received !!
