CHILDREN’S CONCERT

TRAVELLING BY TUBA

Travelling by Tuba

Chris Cranham  (tuba)
Stewart Death  (piano)


Chris Cranham (Tuba) and Stewart Death (Piano) are a unique duo performing stunning, innovative programmes.
With a vast array of Wind and Brass instruments they undertook over 200 performances last year and owe their success not only to their virtuosic performances but to their ability as irrepressible entertainers to communicate with audiences of all ages.
This concert will span 15,000 years of music from the first primitive instruments, the Conch Shell, the Viking Horn and the Didgerido through instruments of 14th century Europe, the Sackbut and the Serpent, the mighty Ophicleide beloved of 19th century composers and of course the modern Tuba, played with unique skill and virtuosity by Chris Cranham. A marvellous musical journey and a brilliant introduction to brass instruments for children of all ages.


Tickets: £5 adults,   £2 children
