The Guidonian Hand trombone quartet www.arielartists.com · [email protected]biography Hailed by the New York Times for their “expertly played” performances displaying “meaty lower brass textures,” the Guido- nian Hand Trombone Quartet is New York City’s leading modern trombone collective. They have performed and premiered works at the Lincoln Center Chamber Music Society Master Class Series as well as Le Poisson Rouge, The Stone, The Juilliard School, Galapagos Art Space, Manhattan School of Music, The Tank, Mannes College of Music, New York University, and the Gershwin Hotel’s New Music series. In July 2010, the Guidonian Hand performed a concert at the International Trombone Festival in Austin, TX, which was broadcast online all over the world. This adventurous ensemble collaborates frequently with living composers to expand, study, and perform new music for low brass. In addition to modern literature, the Guidonian Hand gives a fresh voice to classic repertoire as well as the latest scholarly editions of Renaissance works. The Hand is passionate about creating original performance experiences that blend music with other art forms such as film, dance, theatre and spoken word. Nestled in the heart of New York City’s vibrant music scene, the Guidonian Hand has worked exclusively with and premiered works by composers including Conrad Winslow, J. Mark Stambaugh, Galen Brown, and Jeremy Howard Beck, the ensemble’s Compos- er-in-Residence for the 2010/11 season. Looking toward the future, composers James Bergin, Max Seigel, Gary Philo and Chris Cerrone are currently creating pieces for the ensemble. The Hand also looks forward to returning to the University of the Arts in Philadelphia to give a joint master class and recital, as well as presenting a master class at West Chester University during the 2010/11 concert season. Members of the Guidonian Hand have performed with numerous symphony orchestras including the Dallas Symphony, Utah Symphony, Verbier Festival Orchestra, Akron Symphony, New Hampshire Symphony, Rhode Island Philharmonic, National Orchestral Institute, Canton Symphony, and the Western New York Chamber Orchestra and Symphony in Camden. Now calling New York City home, the trombonists of the Hand hail from all across the country, being natives of California, New York, Texas and Utah. They hold graduate degrees from the Manhattan School of Music, New England Conservatory and Mannes College of Music.

CHAMBER MUSIC AND SOLO MASTER CLASSESIn addition to nurturing the growth of low brass literature, the Guidonian Hand wants to train future chamber and solo musicians.
Collectively, members of the Hand have decades of experience in the solo, chamber and orchestral fields. The Guidonian Hand gives
master classes to all student levels in which they coach musicians in solo preparation and in their chamber groups, as well as giving
lectures in technique, ensemble playing and audition and performance preparation. They are also delighted to equip students with all
of the knowledge they need to start or continue their chamber music projects. The Guidonian Hand can give students reference lists of
repertoire, show them the best web resources for finding and ordering new music, and give advice on how to approach composers to
get new pieces written.
COLLEGE COMPOSERS FORUMOne of the primary goals of the Guidonian Hand is to expand chamber music literature for brass instruments. One of the ways they
achieve this goal is to collaborate directly with composers. The Hand can design a program that demonstrates specific techniques of
the instrument to help guide the next generation of composers. They will also play pieces that have been written for the forum, and
answer student questions about the instrument, the trombone quartet as a performing group, or the landscape of contemporary music.
The Guidonian Hand would also enjoy staying in contact with both composition professors and students to see the compositional
