Madeline Vandersluys is an Edmonton-based trombonist currently completing their Bachelor of Music at MacEwan University. Their experience in performing ranges from big band swing to modern pop music. Influenced by the likes of Melba Liston and Rob McConnell, Madeline's work seeks to explore new territory for the trombone while paying homage to those who have come before. Madeline values the community, connection, and collaboration that comes with music making, and is honoured to be part of this project.
