MinneapolisTrombone Choir Concert
Sunday, March 16, 2025 at 3 pm.
Director, Jim ten Bensel
Judson Memorial Baptist Church
4101 Harriet Ave So, Minneapolis, MN
Minneapolis Trombone Choir was started in 1974 as a meeting place for trombonists to meet other players, share ideas, and play music. It has been going strong ever since. Jim ten Bensel, one of the founding members of this group, continues to lead the choir. Their concerts include music ranging from classical to jazz, and the members come from all walks of life. This year they celebrate their 49th year of concerts. That’s right! This is the 49th year that the Minneapolis Trombone Choir has brought its big sound to Judson. There have always been trombones, along with euphonium's and tubas, plus visiting choirs. They have performed at Lake Harriet Bandshell, and the State Fair Grounds over the Fourth of July, as well as the International Trombone Association workshop held at the University of Minnesota in 1994.
