Come out to Coquitlam and hear the phenomenal local talent Neal Bennett, and hit the Vogue a week later to hear Jörgen van Rijen, the young and amazing principal trombonist of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. These shows offer the rare opportunity to hear world class trombone soloists in a concert setting, accompanied by full Wind Band. Don't miss out!
