I’m Dmitrii Boz, and I’ve been immersed in the music industry for over a decade. My journey began at the prestigious Centrul de Excelență în educația artistică "Ștefan Neaga" in Moldova, where I honed my skills and developed a deep passion for brass music. Throughout my career, I’ve had the honor of achieving 2nd place in both the International Competition of Vocal and Instrumental Performance "Emanuel Elenescu" and the National Competition of Vocal and Instrumental Performance "Ștefan Neaga." As the former solo trombone of Moldova's finest youth brass band at CEEA "Ștefan Neaga," I’ve had the privilege of performing at a high level, and now I’m eager to pass on that knowledge and experience to the next generation. I look forward to introducing your children to the wonderful world of brass music and helping them refine their performance skills, setting the stage for a bright, musical future.
