響|Shawn Trio

Hallo! Here is 響 Shawn Trombone Trio!!!

Our group name is derived from the Chinese character “響” in traditional Mandarin, which means “very bright and loud sound”. We chose this word for two main reasons:

Firstly, because we are a trombone trio with a warm and loud sound.

Secondly, all three of us are not from Germany, the top half of 響 is 鄉, which means home in Chinese, the bottom half of 響 is 音, this word means music in Mandarin. Two words together means the music of our homeland.

We hope to use this name to express our longing for our hometown, and we also hope to connect the world through music. We hope that people who listen to our music will think of their distant hometown, a place where there will never be war and pain and illness. This is also our original intention in forming this ensemble.

Please enjoy!
