Steve Rosse's Tuba Student(s) at Sydney Opera House
Posted: Wed Jul 19, 2006 9:56 am
My wife and daughter sang the Duruflé Requiem and other works at the Sydney Opera House this week. In her support of my tuba interests, my wife reported that she met two of Steve Rosse's students who were successful at the 2006 ITEC Competitions. One of them apparently played in the orchestra for the Duruflé.
My wife, Tricia, says that one of the tubists is "Michael Allen" with an email address of TBAllens@bigpond.com. She also says that one of the tubists has a new model Miraphone A-flat (yes, A-flat!) tuba. I told her that it was much more likely that she didn't hear correctly and that the tubist said "E-flat" as an Australian would pronounce it. My wife did mention that it was a 3+1 horn, so my guess is that it's the new Miraphone Ambassador.
The 2006 ITEC Young Tuba Artist winner was Duncan Spry, and the Arnold Jacobs Mock Orchestra Audition Competition was won by Thomas Allely, both students of Steve Rosse at the Sydney Conservatory. If either of you spoke with an American woman in a choral group performing at the Sydney Opera House this past week who said that her husband is a tubist, could you please email (semarcus1@yahoo.com) or PM me to help set the record straight? Also, if anyone on the BBS has the correct information, you're welcome to post it.
In any event, my wife said that the tubist sounded excellent.![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
