Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. 🙏🏻❤️
First and foremost, our heartfelt gratitude goes to the Princess Galyani Vadhana Institute of Music (PGVIM) for being the home and host of the Thailand International Trombone Festival 2026 — for believing in this project and supporting us with the space, resources, and everything needed to bring these six incredible days to life.
To our wonderful TITF 2026 Artists and Juries — Carol Jarvis, Christopher Bassett, Hillary Simms, Martin Schippers, and Tomer Maschkowski — thank you for six full days of incredible hard work, generosity, and artistry. Thank you for sharing not only your music, but also your knowledge, experience, energy, and time with everyone here.
We learned so much from you, but perhaps the most important thing you gave us was inspiration.
Our sincere thanks also go to Dr. Narong Prangcharoen, composer of Enigmatic Forces, for contributing his music and artistry to TITF, and to our TITF Friends, Thanapoom Sriwiset from Mahidol University and Sam Armstrong from the National University of Singapore, for being part TITF every single year!
We are deeply grateful to our sponsors — S. E. Shires Company, Michael Rath Trombones, ThaiBev, and SCB Thailand — for believing in TITF and supporting the growth of our musical community.
We would also like to extend a special thank you to all vendors who joined us and opened their booths at TITF 2026. Your presence added so much life to the festival — from instruments and accessories to music-related products and services. Thank you for taking the time to travel, set up, and share your work with our participants. We truly appreciate your support in helping make the festival experience more complete and vibrant for everyone.
And finally, thank you to every participant, competitor, teacher, student, and trombone lover who trusted us, traveled from near and far, and chose to spend these days with us. A festival only becomes meaningful because of the people who choose to be part of it.
TITF this year brought another important step forward with our very first Thailand International Trombone Competition. We have grown, we have learned, and we know there is still so much more ahead.
We hope everyone leaves TITF 2026 with a little more fuel in the tank — to go back to the practice room, keep learning, keep improving, and keep working toward becoming the musician you dream of being.
