The Yale Trombone Quartet will perform at Gateway Community College (GCC) on Wednesday, March 30, as part of the college’s new Yale Ensembles Lunchtime Concert Series.

The concert, which is free and open to the public, will be from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. in room 160 on GCC’s Long Wharf campus at 60 Sargent Drive.

The Yale Trombone Quartet was formed in 2009 at the Yale School of Music. It includes Jennifer Griggs, Brian Reese and Rubén Rodriguez on tenor trombones and Craig Watson on the bass trombone. The group is coached by Scott Hartman, professor of trombone at the Yale School of Music.

The Yale Ensembles Lunchtime Concert Series will continue on April 14 with Chilled Water Supply and on May 2 with The Adelpha Quartet, with each concert occurring at the same time and place. The series is sponsored by the Esther Haseltine Schiavone Endowment for the Arts at GCC and GCC’s Office of College Life.

The Esther Haseltine Schiavone Endowment Fund was established in 2006 through the Gateway Community College Foundation by Schiavone’s daughter Jennifer Schiavone, who set up the endowment in her mother’s memory to help the arts programs put on at GCC by her longtime friend and author, GCC Professor Franz Douskey.
