David Bruchez, trombone

{ Read Biography }

The Swiss trombonist David Bruchez is Principal Trombone of the "Zürich Tonhalle Orchestra" and professor at the Hochschule für Musik in Demold, Germany.

He completed his musical studies at the Lausanne Conservatoire, and went on to further study in New York, London and at the Herbert von Karajan Academy of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.

At a very young age he was already being noticed in international competitions for mixed classes of instrument. His considerable musicality and soloistic virtuosity on the trombone - an instrument too often judged of secondary interest in the world of classical music - enabled him to become the first brass player to reach the final of the prestigious "Eurovision Competition for Young Musicians" in Warsaw in 1994 and to win the "International Forum of Young Performers" in Bratislava in 1999. 20 years old, he was appointed principal trombone of the "Zürich Opera Orchestra" under the direction of Franz Welser Möst, position that he held for the last ten years. In this period, he had the opportunity to work with artists like Claudio Abbado, Nello Santi, Sir Georg Solti, to name a few conductors with whom he worked. His repertoire extends from baroque concertos - also on historical instruments - to avant-garde works of the current literature by way of the classical concertos of the trombonistic literature. He das performed as recitalist and in chamber music all over Europe. His many recordings for television and readio as well as on CD are evidence of the wide spectrum of his activities. As a pedagog he was faculty member of the "Conservatoire de Musique de Lausanne" and the "Tibor Varga Academy" in Sion. Since 2005, the prestigious "Hochschule für Musik Detmold" has given him the Chair of trombone.
