Trombone (BSO chair)
Bass trombonist Douglas Yeo joined the BSO in 1985 after four years with the Baltimore Symphony, and has been a soloist with both those orchestras as well as the Boston Pops. He has published extensively on trombone and brass playing, and has coauthored Mastering the Trombone with Edward Kleinhammer. Yeo’s many arrangements have been published by G. Schirmer, Southern, and International Music. He maintains an award-winning Web site, and is, as well, an accomplished serpentist. In 1998, Yeo was appointed Music Director of the New England Brass Band, which released two recordings, Christmas Joy! and Honour and Glory, under his direction. His four solo recordings, Two of a Mind, Cornerstone, Proclamation, and Take 1 have received critical acclaim.
