The UT Trombone Studio was the recipient of a Texas Global Grant to fund a 6-week Zurich residency. Our grant proposal, Zurich Opera Trombone Internship, was approved for 2021-22 funding by Texas Global Career Launch. The grant allows a faculty member with an established relationship at a university or with an industry partner abroad to serve as faculty director leading and supporting cohorts of up to 10 students as they intern or conduct research with said collaborator/institution. Faculty awardees receive a stipend and a travel grant, and each UT student participant is eligible to receive a scholarship to support transportation and living expenses (and possible academic credit). Students will travel to Zurich during the spring of 2022 to work with members of the Zurich Opera and the Zurich Ton Halle Orchestras.
