Matthew Vaughn, co-principal trombone Hometown: Dallas, TX / Richmond, IN Philadelphia Orchestra member since: 1999 What are your hobbies? --I enjoy exercise, cats, cooking, skiing, and water skiing People would be surprised to know that... --The infamous Jim Jones was my uncle. He married my Aunt Marceline, not a blood relative! What has been your favorite orchestra tour, and why? --I've had so many great memories from tours, like hiking the Great Wall and eating fried scorpions in China. But tour is always more fun with family. Bringing the family to Vienna and Edinburgh was a highlight, getting young boys to try haggis! What goes through your mind right before the big solo in Bolero? --Phew, I'm glad it's Nitzan playing it tonight! Do you play any instruments other than the trombone in the Orchestra? --on occasion I get to play euphonium and alto trombone, which is a cute baby version of my normal trombone. Did you ever serve in the US Armed Forces? --Sir, yes, sir. The US Air Force Band in Washington DC.

Mr. Vaugn, in humbly speaking for the assembled trombonists in the audience the last few weeks in recitals at Curtis, Bryn Athyn, and at Nitzan’s beautiful recital yesterday, you astonished us with your alto trombone playing. Wow. Was the perfect complement to the ensemble, too. I’m sure the rest of the audience, unitiated, felt the same way. And it is awfully cute. And for those of us who are gear heads, who made the thing? Leave a Reply. |
