BMC has sent out the call for International Tenor and Bass Trombone Competition to 406 music schools and conservatories, 123 ensembles and 38 trombone-federations around the world, which resulted a very broad field of competitors. Besides Belarusian, British, Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, Polish, Lithuanian, German, Norwegian, Italian, Austrian, Russian, Spanish, Slovenian, Ukrainian, and of course Hungarian candidates, overseas applications from North America, Australia, Brazil, China, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Taiwan arrived as well.

The initiator of competition is the trombone artist and university professor Gusztáv Hőna, who participates in international meetings regularly since 1981. He leads master classes and lectures in contemporary Hungarian trombone literature, plays solo and chamber concerts in Europe, America and Australia. “Due to innovations in the technique of blowing, the boundaries of playing the instrument expanded in the last 40 year significantly, placing trombone as solo instrument to the fore. I am very pleased that the competition takes place in the BMC, and hope wholeheartedly that those who come here, should they be competitors or members of the jury, just would want to come back again.”

The international jury, chaired by Gustav Hőna is made up of internationally renowned trombonists as Chris Houlding (UK), Jan Kagarice (US), Gabriel Madas (A), Jacques Mauger (F) along with Sándor Balogh and Csaba Wágner from Hungary. The winners of the categories will be awarded with 5000 € (first prize), 3000 € (second prize), and 1000 € (third prize).

Finishing the week-long competition the prize winners will play on the gala concert in the concert hall of BMC.
