Trombonanza 2026

TROMBONANZA is an international festival based in Santa Fe, Argentina, that brings together trombonists, euphonium players, and tuba players of all ages and levels for a week of training, concerts, and shared experiences.

For 25 years, we have connected the world’s greatest masters with students from across the Americas, offering free classes, competitions, and concerts that have transformed Santa Fe into the Trombone Capital. Each edition attracts more than 180 participants and 25 internationally renowned instructors, in a diverse artistic program encompassing jazz, tango, folk, classical, and more.

In 2011, the International Trombone Association recognized TROMBONANZA as the most impactful event of the decade worldwide, for its originality and contribution to the development of the instrument.

TROMBONANZA has not only trained new generations of musicians; it has also fostered films, books, and recordings, and consolidated a unique cultural space in the country. It is synonymous with community, learning, human connection, and musical celebration.
