Concerto for Trombone' was written especially for Jörgen van Rijen the solo trombonist of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam. It is a composition without a story consisting of four overlapping parts. The solo part was not written for Jörgen van Rijen technical skills but rather for his expressive technique in the higher registers. According to Jan Bosveld Jörgen van Rijen has additional merits that distinguish him from all other trombonists. 'Concerto for Trombone' was premiered at the International Music Festival in Saas-Fee Switzerland.The Repräsentations Orchester des Schweizer Armeespiel conducted by Christopher Walter accompanied him. This composition was made financially possible by the Music Lending and Information Centre (MUI) department of the library for the province of Gelderland in Arnhem The Netherlands. Special thanks goes to mr. Bert Aalders director of the MUI.
