Tasmanian String Quartet: Vaughan Williams’ Tuba Concerto
4 June @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm AEST

Forget everything you think you know about the tuba, as Vaughan Williams’ Concerto for Bass Tuba turns the spotlight on the orchestra’s biggest brass instrument.
TSO’s Principal Tuba Rachel Kelly takes centre stage, revealing her instrument’s lyrical voice and astonishing agility.
Also on the program: Doreen Carwithen’s cinematic Overture ODTAA (One Damn Thing After Another), and Haydn’s life-affirming Symphony No 100, the ‘Military’.
Conducted by rising Australian star Ingrid Martin and hosted by our regular 6pm frontman, William Newbery.
