Tuba Related Happenings in NYC

[kameronc]

Hi Everyone,

I am headed to NYC next monday-wednesday. Any notable events involving tubas going on? I have seen many interesting events, but still I have not found anything of particular interest to a tubist, that statement of course not including all of the other fascinating musical events going on.

Thanks,
Kameron Clayton

Dear Tubenetters,

I was in attendance at this quintet concert and it was quite an amazing event. This was the program:

Luciano Berio Call

Carlo Gesualdo Two motets
1. Peccantem me Quotide
2. O Vos Omnes

(arrang. Sir Peter Maxwell Davies)

Jan Bach Laudes

Intermission

Sir Peter Maxwell Davies Quintet Opus 100


It was a long program and kudos go to each of the quintet members for stamina, artistry, ensemble and preparation. Kyle played with secure tone and great sensitivity. The Call and Laudes were played on a large PT CC horn and the Gesualdo and Davies were played on a PT F horn. The F horn was particularly effective on the Gesualdo, the part requiring long sustained tones in the upper registers. A very surprising and unusual composition.

All in attendance were mesmerized by the Davies Quintet. Very effective and masterfully played, with great attention to detail. It was especially gratifying, considering the length and difficulty of the preceding pieces. Bravo everyone!

Steve.
