Trombone recitals in this area are rare, according to local trombonist Paul Blake.
The Oneonta Concert Association will feature Blake along with a young trombonist and four other local musicians who will play as a quintet with Blake on Sunday, April 6 at 3 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church in Oneonta.
Blake will play six pieces during the first 40 minutes of the two-hour concert. Then, he will perform a duet with one of his long-time private students, Robin Brown, a junior at Oneonta High School. Fideliz Sta. Brigida, will accompany both on piano.
Frank Meredith, Mark Case, Philip Wade and Robin Brown will perform with Blake as a quintet of five trombonists for the last four melodies as the grand finale.
