Maxine Troglauer

Classical music, jazz, contemporary music - for Maxine Troglauer these are not areas that can be meticulously separated. Rather, they are organically interconnected resonance chambers that give the bass trombonist, born in Wiesbaden in 1995, the opportunity to engage in a self-confident dialogue with the past.

Troglauer does not think in clichés but recognises opportunities. Her declared aim is to free her instrument from its niche and help it to develop its own repertoire.

To this end, composers such as Daniel Schnyder and Jonas Schoen-Philbert have written solo pieces for her that bring out the best in the bass trombone. At the same time, she draws inspiration from a wide variety of sources: In her concerts, meditative drones may be played alongside a flute sonata by C.P.E. Bach, and jazzy improvisations may be followed by her own compositions.
