Isaac Sanabria from Spain (4th year at the school, first year as a bass)

During our 5 Sinfonietta-Janacek concerts last week one of my students joined the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra.
Jeremy Stones (Masters student at the Codarts School of Music) played the third trombone in this great piece while I played the fourth part on the contrabass trombone.
Jeremy did very well in both the Janacek as in the other pieces where he played the bass also.
Some freetime for his old teacher!!
Thanks and Bravo Jeremy!!!
