The Boston Modern Orchestra Project featured Angel Subero on their album, From the Institutes of Groove. Grammy-nominated composer Michael Gandolfi was commissioned by BMOP to write the title piece for Mr. Subero. In a personal letter to the performer, John Williams wrote, “I found your recording of the Michael Gandolfi bass trombone concerto to be among the greatest examples of individuality and artistry applied to this fabulous instrument that I can identify or remember.” Mr. Subero studied with Larry Isaacson at the Boston Conservatory, and at the New England Conservatory of Music with Douglas Yeo, former bass trombonist of the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
