11 January 2010 > New commission announcement...
Tromans has been jointly-commissioned by Birmingham Jazz and THSH (Birmingham's Town Hall & Symphony Hall) to write a new concert-length work for his Debop Band. The new work will be premiered on October 8th 2010 at Symphony Hall's Commuter Jazz/Rush Hour Blues session. It is followed on the same evening by a concert by the Houston Symphony Orchestra which culminates in a performance of Holst's Planets' Suite with a backdrop of NASA high-definition footage of the aforementioned heavenly bodies. For this reason, the commission is to have a 'cosmic' theme. There will be more information to come as the work develops throughout the year...

Tromans has been awarded a PhD Studentship by Middlesex University. Set to commence in autumn 2009, the studentship will run for three years during which time Tromans will be researching into the area of performativity as it relates to the composer-performer, working closely alongside his Debop Band in the process of practice-as-research into the dynamics involved in the closed, ritualistic world of the rehearsal. Middlesex University in London is home to ResCen, the acclaimed centre for study into practice-as-research across the arts.
