Trombonist has his face rebuilt
mainMessage from the Chamber Orchestra of Europe:
All of COE’s thoughts are with Håkan Björkman (principal trombone) who is undergoing surgery today to rebuild his face after a cycling accident last week. Get well soon Håkan!
Well, possibly “face” had nothing to do with his embouchure but that sounds bad for a wind player none-the-less.
I just searched for more details, including on the orchestra website, and found nothing.
How is his embouchure?
Was he on a bicycle or motorcycle?
“Cycling” usually means “bicycling,” at least in the US…
Any word on how things are going?
