Trombonist Serdar Cizmeci talks about his favorite instrument.

How long have you played with ESO?

Since 2016

What instrument do you play and how did you gravitate to that instrument?

Trombone (Bass, Tenor, and Alto). Everyone talks about the power of the trombone section. I like the mellow and soloistic style sound of the trombone. I would say that Glenn Miller and Frank Rosolino are the best examples. That sound made me mesmerized.

What piece is on your bucket list to play with ESO and why?

Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony, Grandiose trombone choral at the last movement, is also one of my favorite symphonies. Any Shostakovich symphonies for the power of the trombone section :).
