2 tuba (Roylance/Newberger) concerto Mar. 16, 18 in Boston
Posted: Fri Mar 02, 2007 2:53 pm
Hi, all. Here's a quote from the hyperactive press office of the Boston Classical Orchestra. "Two generations of tuba players join forces as Boston Symphony principal Mike Roylance and pediatrician/jazz musician Eli Newberger play the world premiere of Howard Frazin's "Theme and Reverberations," a neo-Classical work that musically traces childhood development and the resilience of personality."
The venue, Faneuil Hall, dates from 1742. In these pre-tuba days, town meetings heard Samuel Adams and others lead cries of protest against the imposition of taxes on the colonies. More recently, TubaChristmases are held here in commemoration of the birth of William Bell (my teacher).
Howie's powerful and lyrical 18-minute piece is scored for F and C tubas and chamber orchestra. He's also doing a string quintet reduction that Mike and I are going to perform in Boston in May.
The performance time for the BCO concert are respectively 8 PM and 3 PM.
Here's the website for the BCO:

With warm regards,
Eli Newberger
