The President's Own Concerto Competition

Post by The Jackson »

Any of you other high school kids looking into this?

"Tuba
• Concertino for Tuba and Band by James Curnow
• Concertino for Tuba and Wind Instruments by Rolf Wilhelm"

I have not played nor heard either of these pieces. Thoughts?

Sounds interesting. Hope I can learn one of the pieces by November.

Thanks! :D

What I'm worried about is getting a decent recording job. I know nothing about it, so I'm going to have to talk to a lot of people down here to see if I can get any names or something like that.

I would contact a respectable pro tuba player and have him give you some names.

There is a video of the Curnow on youtube which is pretty good and I found where to buy the Curnow but not the Wilhelm. Does anybody know where you can buy the Wilhelm?
