Byron Fulcher – the quiet attack
November 20th, 2008 | Published in hornplaying
Here area a couple of photos of Byron – principal trombonist in The Philharmonia Orchestra.
The first is backstage just before a concert in Munich. I managed to capture him practising his devastating stealth-attack. It is so powerful it can blast open the doors of a lift.
The second photo is another of Byron which I’ve sort of “posterized” to more accurately show the heat coming off him when he plays. He has to wear flame-retardant tails suits during concerts.
