Davoren links with Fontana for new work

Composer Tom Davoren has linked up with trombone superstar Lito Fontana for a new world premiere.

Lito Fontana
 

Trombone superstar Lito Fontana has told 4BR that he is already starting to work on composer Tom Davoren’s ‘For a Love Lost’, which he will give the world premiere of at the New Year’s Concert of Brass Band Fröschl Hall Band in Innsbruck in January next year.

Admiration

Lito is currently on tour in Italy, but is excited by the prospect of premiering a work form a composer he has great admiration for.

"Tom’s work is wonderful – and will take some playing! We have worked closely together on it and I am so glad that Tom and his girlfriend will come to Innsbruck to listen to the premiere."

Future

Lito added: "He is a composer I have so much respect for, and I hope that I will be able to perform more works of his in the future too."
