Bourgeois Trombone Concerto Op 114 with Colin Williams and Kosuke Akimoto
This is a live performance in Osaka, Japan. Yu Tamaki and I performed around Japan in various forms in early May of 2023. It's not note perfect, but I hope you enjoy this performance!

An ancient video from 1996 while preparing for Marc's recital at Manhattan School of Music. I think I was 19??

A blast from the past found in an old bin. Apologies for the terrible video quality, this is from a time before smartphones and easy video recording. Audio is ok, though! Colin Williams, Nathan Zgonc, Chris Branagan, and Larry Bird on bass.

This was part of the project that Nikki and I took on during Covid this summer to help keep us going during an uncertain time. The music is from the heart, all things that we love to play. Due to some technical issues, Brad White's part of the performance isn't available yet. We'll publish another video once his portion becomes available. Enjoy! #trombone #tromboneplayer #seshires #iplayshires
Colin Adversity Mock Audition
มุมมอง 19K6 ปีที่แล้ว
When preparing for orchestral auditions, I think it's important to create a mock audition with less than ideal circumstances to overcome. In this audition I tried to have the deck stacked against me in a few different ways. I allowed myself very little warm up immediately before I started playing to simulate an audition proctor coming to get me before I was really ready to go. I wasn't given a ...

Was this for Mr Williams NY Phil audition?
Is there anywhere I can get the sheet music for Marie, it’s such a beautiful excerpt
This is awesome and I hope to become as good as you one day
Great chamber music masterclass! Thank you! Do we have the titles of each piece? I am in the seek for some original trombone quartet repertoire and there are some pieces I really enjoyed. Thank you very much!
So sad... No train ever going on this track...
great rhenish
❤
I am waiting for the Proletariat Concerto to be recorded. Really fine and expressive playing, Colin.
Hopping to learn this for sophomore solo and ensemble. Don't have high hopes but will do my best. You sound amazing bruv idk how you do it

Larry Bird apparently became a great bass trombonist after retiring from the Celtics. What a talented man!!!
If you happen to see this, how old were you at the time of this recording? I’m at the age where I need to make a decision on whether to go into music or not and seeing so much hard work going into excerpts at what seems to be an age not much older than myself is very inspiring. Also this is slightly off topic but I know you have had past experiences with very serious lip injuries and learning how to get past that. I myself have had to deal with a lip injury that has taken me out of practicing for about the past 3 months and was told by an oral surgeon to take another month off . Even then there is no guarantee that I will be any better upon returning. I’m not quite sure how to take this news and if I’m being honest I am on the edge of breaking and just quitting as a result of a ton of mental stress put on by myself and others. How did you make it through your injury and did you ever feel like quitting and just putting away the horn for good? Thanks!
He’s 32-33 here. It takes years to get THIS good. Don’t be discouraged! Just start practicing a lot more and get started now.
Go down the David Vining rabbit hole for injury recovery + prevention. i.e. his book "What every trombonist needs to know about the body" Trombone can and should be a life long journey! I've taken years where trombone goes on the back burner and I barely play, but currently my playing is in some ways better than its ever been - 5 years after university.
Bravo Maestro 🎉👏
Thank You!😍
I heard your performance of this piece in Tokyo and it was truly wonderful. Thank you for coming to Japan. Please come again.
Bravo!
You guys sound fantastic! Always admired Larry’s playing
Stunning performances by both of you!!! I do always wonder this. Are there still things either of you struggle with even when you are playing at such a high level?
I would kill for that high range.... Great video!
This is a really phenomenal performance.

Really interesting that Marie is on there! Would that be on a list because of pops concerts? I haven't seen Dorsey on an orchestra audition before.
That’s exactly right! It was to make sure the candidate had at least some understanding of that style.
Nice sound Mr William! Shires?
Absolutely! Although this was a different model than I play now. The video was made a long time ago now!
Hey, I know that venue. 🙂 Thank you - sounds fantastic!
How can I get the Romeo and Juliet arr C.Lindberg?
Thank you both so much for sharing. This is beautiful!
Fantastic playing, congratulations to you both. You both make beautiful big sounds and really sing in your playing. Thanks for posting.
Amazing!
I show this video to my students any time they ask what good audition preparation sounds like, and recently I have been coming back to this video a lot myself as a motivator to continue to work on my excerpts
Bravo!!!!!
What year was this?!
It feels like 5000 years ago, but I believe it was 2009 or so.
On the William tell excerpt, are you doubling tonguing?
Don't know for sure, but I think he definitely could be double tonguing.
@@joaolopes488 I think he’s doubling tongue.
Single tongue!@@thegoodgeneral
Thanks a lot for this. I usually study with this video for having a good reference of any excerpt tha you play in here. Could anyone help me by saying whos Marie´s excerpt composer ?. Thanks again and best wishes for everyone
wow :0 this sounds amazing
Moses un Aron ✨😍😍😍✨
Fantastic playing!
Hi professor Colin Williams What audio device did you use to record this video?
he recorded it like 10 years ago so this probably wouldn't be the best equipment
How does one play all these pieces flawlessly... incredible, hats off to you dude!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hi man, you perfect TROMBONIST, BRAVO!
Mad lad
Fantastic! I'm an aspiring professional struggling to fund my Bachelor's. Wished I could attend a conservatory under Joseph Alessi or someone of equal caliber such as yourself. Considering auditioning for some sub positions at an orchestra or two though, for experience, professional sources, and repertoire.
I hope your musical pursuits are going well! I’m going to be a senior in high school about to ship off to college.
@@tromboneman4517 Oh, good luck my guy!
You sound exactly the same. At least to my ears.
Well a camera can only do so much and capture so much
@@kamilodavila5823, that’s a complement.
@@kamilodavila5823He meant he sounds nearly perfect in both videos.
I want this man’s sound. Absolutely stunning.
Go practice
Filip Petraš I will sir. I will.
What a source of inspiration! Thank you!!!
Your music is fantastic! I like listening the popular music.
REAL TROMBON SUPER HERO from another dimension ❗
well played
The first time I watched this I expected it to be kinda rough like other audition prep videos I have seen. After watching it, I thought to myself man this guy played almost flawlessly and sounded really good. I saw the video was a few years old and figured he is probably playing in a pretty good orchestra these days based on how well he sounded for this video. I googled it and had a bit of a giggle seeing his is currently the associate principal of the NYPhil. I am clearly ignorant of who is currently playing in the best symphonies in the world these days but my ear's intuition seems to be spot on. Beautiful playing. This will be helpful in audition prep. This is a wonderful resource to share.
He very good. But the reality is that there are many great players. The ones who study with teachers in major orchestras tend to get into the same orchestras for a few different reasons. Orchestras have to hold auditions because of union regulations, but normally they know who they want well in advance. Years ago, conductors would simply have promising players play for them and hire them on the spot, if interested. I think that system was actually much more fair because conductors wanted the best players in their orchestra and had the skills to judge true musicianship. Other people need to know this before spending thousands to travel to auditions where they don't stand a chance. Sometimes there is a fantastic player who came out of nowhere with no connections. They will usually allow someone like that to the semi final round and then cut them, giving the illusion that things are fair since they weren't cut out in the first round (but sometimes they are cut from the first round simply to get rid of them). Music is great but the corruption makes the business horrid.
@@billyhill7132 sounds like someone lost an audition...
@@billyhill7132 I don't think you're listening with an objective ear. A discerning listener could pick out aspects of Colin's playing that are similar to Joe's... BUT, he's still at a level above and beyond most players- probably including yourself.
Paul Gilles I’ve heard From a lot of professors/professionals that the job of a panelist is to make the list manageable. So anything that justifies cutting you they WILL jump on it to meet the music directors request
@@janeisnotokay3284, sounds like a lazy trombonist to me.
Good!!
