Anyone Going?

I only know of a local tubist, Roine Hultgren, a fine player and a good chap.
He is originally Swedish, studied with Michael Lind and is the current tuba professor at the Reykjavík Conservatory.

It would be interesting to know whether anyone from outside Iceland has applied for the job.

Anyone know what happened?

Amazing player with amazing abilities and an AMAZING VOLUME! Ice in iceland will melt...Congrats to Tim.
