The Pacific Trombone Quartet (Brad Howland, Don McDougall, and Bob Fraser of the Victoria Symphony and Kevin Thompson of the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra) presents its highly popular Christmas CD: Bedlam in Bethlehem - Christmas with the Pacific Trombone Quartet, with special guest artists Ian McDougall on trombone and Annabelle Vitek on harp.

“An ensemble that plays with a palpable joy, solid tone and intonation and fine style...The program overall is an excellent representation of Christmas music for trombones, containing a pleasant mix of sacred and secular tunes. It is particularly nice to hear the Tommy Pederson Christmas quintet arrangements put down on disc. They are a staple of any trombonists' holiday repertoire, being fun to play and hear...From beginning to end this CD is a joy to listen to, and must have been a joy to record with such fine musicians.”

~ Online Trombone Journal (complete review)

“I just got through listening to samples of your new CD...I fell in love with this recording right away. Congratulations on a superior CD, and I personally wish you great success with this album.”
