Trombonist

You don’t just hear Saint-Saëns’s “Organ” Symphony; you feel it. Experience the power of this magnificent music and the 6,025 pipes of Severance’s mighty Norton Memorial Organ. Kazuki Yamada contrasts this audience favorite with Haydn’s smaller, but no less delightful “London” Symphony. Principal Trombone Brian Wendel also steps into the spotlight for the dramatic Trombone Concerto of Nino Rota, best known for his score for The Godfather.
