Five trombones … one extraordinary experience!

I Tromboni was formed in 1999 when five of Canada's finest young trombonists dedicated themselves to the promotion and performance of live music for the trombone quintet.

The group incorporates music of many genres into their performances including baroque, classical, jazz, romantic, contemporary and popular styles.
