The UMKC Conservatory of Music and Dance proudly presents free guest artist recitals to the Kansas City community each semester, showcasing the breadth of talent our guests bring to the arts.

With his solo playing described as being “beautifully controlled with a vocal sound”, Italian Trombonist Peter Steiner is recognized across the world as “a new trombone star within his generation”, “playing with total control”. His performances with some of the world’s most prestigious ensembles and solo recitals across the globe have helped form him into the artist that he is today.

At the age of 23, Peter Steiner was appointed Trombonist of the Vienna State Opera and Vienna Philharmonic for the 2016-2017 season. Prior to that engagement he served as Principal Trombonist with the Colorado Symphony for the 2014-2015 season. He has performed as guest principal trombonist with the Munich Philharmonic, Staatskapelle Dresden, New York Philharmonic, Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Seattle Symphony Orchestra and BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

Steiner’s 2017-2018 season features performances with the Staatskapelle Dresden, the Colorado Symphony, an eight week USA Recital & Masterclass tour, the world premiere of Gilles Rocha’s Fly or Die with Brass Band accompaniment, and performances of the Trombone Concerto by Derek Bourgeois in April 2018.
