The Thomasian Trombone Choir is composed of trombone-playing students from the University of Santo Tomas Conservatory of Music under the tutelage of Ricson Poonin, a “highly acclaimed trombonist” (The Manila Times) and acting principal trombonist of the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra. The ensemble made its debut earlier this year.
The Thomasian Trombone Choir will perform with the FEU Drum and Bugle Corps, the 89-year-old official marching unit of Far Eastern University and one of the cultural groups under the FEU Center for the Arts. The marching Tamaraws are led by their Artistic Director, Kevin Castelo, who finished his Master’s degree in Percussion at the University of Indiana, and Koowie Relevo, the Assistant Artistic Director, an alumnus of the FEU DBC from FEU’s Institute of Accounts, Business and Finance, Class of 2017. The FEU DBC is composed of student artists from various non-music courses at the University.
The collaborative concert will also feature the special participation of Thanapoom Sriwiset, the Associate Principal Bass Trombone of the Thailand Philharmonic Orchestra since 2010. He became a trombone instructor at Mahidol University College of Music in 2016. He had the opportunity to perform with the Grazer Philharmoniker at Opernhaus Graz in Austria. Thanapoom has been invited to teach and conduct master classes at prestigious festivals including the Thailand International Trombone Festival, the Thailand International Brass and Percussion Conference, and other brass-related events across Asia.
Another special participant is Ethan Santos, a Filipino-American multi-instrumentalist and an adjunct trombone professor at Tulane University of New Orleans, Louisiana, in the United States of America.
