Anthony BoorerDuring one of my daily trips on 'Tinternet, I found this and thought some of you might be interested.
Anthony Boorer began playing the trombone at the age of 12 and started his professional career at 16 with the British Royal Marines Band Service, travelling the World extensively with them for 7 years and ending up as the solo trombone of RM Staff Band in Deal until 1990, when he left to study at the Guild Hall School of Music & Drama in London. Whilst at the Guildhall he won numerous awards, including the Guildhall Brass Prize, Countess of Munster scholarship, and was the first brass player in 22 years to reach the final of the prestigious Gold Medal Concerto Competition, performing the Nino Rota Trombone Concerto at the Barbican Hall, London. During his study at the Guildhall Anthony also played with the Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester for four years, the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival Orchestra, and has won scholarships to the Royal Academy of Music and an exchange scholarship to the Prague Academy of Music, winning the Anglo-Czech Brass Prize. He has since worked as principal trombone of the Royal Seville Symphony Orchestra, reached the finals for co-principal trombone of the Bern Symphony Orchestra, as well as freelancing in London and around Europe with many major symphony orchestras and ensembles, such as the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra, Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Mahler Chamber Orchestra, Moscow Symphony Orchestra, Endymion Ensemble. |

I was in training with Tony and his Bassoon playing brother david. they were both real live wires and epitomised the RMBS. It's good to see that Tony has gone on to playing at an even higher level. One funny......Tony was into body building in a big way while under training. To show his pecs off he used to take "Bronzing" tablets.....being auburn haired his palms went orange....noone dared snigger due to his bulk! Much! | ||
