Christian Lindberg
the worlds finest trombone player
Congratulations to all who took part in this concert on Friday 6th March 2009, from Eltham College, St Dunstan's, JASSPA and JAGS.
It was a wonderful evening and everyone played exceptionally well.
Lindberg took the stage at 7.30 and wowed the crowd instantly with his 3 medieval Dances. There was a wonderful master class with Freddie Onslow from JAGS and Jack Worlidge from Eltham College who played Sandstrom's 'Sang Till Lotta'.
Who could forget his wonderful finale 'So ba do be'!

Review from BBC website
Christian Lindberg, [is], the best thing that's ever happened to the trombone. The man can actually fill concert halls for his solo recitals all over the world, and if you don't think that's astonishing, just ask yourself if any other trombonist alive could do it; in fact just ask yourself if you can think of the name of another solo trombonist. Yes, he's that good. And that means not only does Lindberg make marvellous sounds with his 'bone, but sometimes people write him marvellous music for it as well.
