Ben Thomson, Principal Tuba with the BBC Scottish Symphony, has just premièred a new commission by Thea Musgrave, a tuba solo called "Loch Ness - A postcard from Scotland". It's a BBC commission.
Stunningly played on BBC Radio 3 from the Albert Hall, London, if you've access to BBC iPlayer you'll catch it there.

Re: New Tuba Solo at BBC Proms
It wasn't written as a tuba solo. Its not intended the tuba player should sit/stand out the front. He plays the role of dear old Nessy. Its a concertante role.
