World Premier: "Rip Van Winkle" for Tuba & Orchestra. Denver

Post by Tubaing »

Hi all,

I wanted to let you know about my upcoming performance with the Denver Pops Orchestra on their concert "Myths, Legends, and Fairytales" on Saturday, February 24 at 4:00 PM at Central Presbyterian Church in Denver, CO.

This is the world premier performance of "Rip Van Winkle: Concertino for Tuba and Orchestra" that the Denver Pops commissioned my wife, Elena Specht to write for this concert.

This was written to be a "big tuba" piece and I will be performing it on my Yamaha YCB-822.

I'm assuming the name is related to the Van Winkle bourbon family by chance? If so, you have great taste!
