What to listen for
On this program, listeners can expect the Grøndahl Concerto for Trombone, a compact three-movement work from 1924 that remains one of the most frequently performed pieces in the trombone repertoire. It opens with a brooding, lyrical melody that lets the trombone sing in a way the instrument is not always given the chance to do, then moves into faster, more agile passages that test the soloist's ability to leap between registers cleanly. The concerto is often prized for balancing technical display with genuine melodic warmth, so a listener new to the trombone as a solo instrument can expect both virtuosity and songfulness rather than pure bombast. It pairs with Caroline Shaw's The Observatory, a contemporary orchestral work, and Dvořák's folk-inflected Eighth Symphony.
