The Glenwood Moravian Trombone Choir is part of the ministry of Glenwood Moravian Community Church in Madison, WI. The GMTC was founded in 1983 by Barbara Strauss and Mike Allsen. The group rehearses weekly (Thursday nights), all year round at Glenwood Church (731 Gilmore Street, on Madison's near west side), and does about twenty performances each year. Since its founding in 1983, the group has logged over 400 performances: primarily Sunday worship services at Glenwood and other Madison churches, but also community concerts, weddings, funerals, and Glenwood's annual Ice Cream Social. (Click here to see a complete chronicle of GMTC performances.) The all-volunteer group currently consists of about fifteen members, ranging in age and experience from High School players to several of the local pros. Most members of the choir are not members of the Glenwood congregation, but they play a vital role in the musical life at Glenwood. The group is open to ALL players, regardless of age or ability.  If you're interested in joining, or hearing more about the group, please contact Mike Allsen (see below).
