CHILDREN’S CONCERT

TRAVELLING BY TUBA — THE SEQUEL

Travelling by Tuba

Chris Cranham  (tuba)
Stewart Death  (piano)


Chris Cranham (Tuba) and Stewart Death (Piano) are a unique duo performing stunning, innovative programmes – “Travelling by Tuba are experts who really get their enjoyment of music across” (The Times). With a vast array of Wind and Brass instruments they owe their success not only to their virtuosic performances but to their ability as irrepressible entertainers to communicate with audiences of all ages.

Following the great success of their concert last year, we have invited them back to perform “Travelling by Tuba — THE SEQUEL”. Featuring Wind and Brass instruments from the Four Corners of the Earth and, impossible as this may sound, the opera Carmen in four and a half minutes. Imagine the sounds of the Roman Cornu, the Swiss Alpine Horn – the original one thousand year old mobile phone – the beautiful Chinese Dragon–headed Trumpet and a pair of six foot high Tibetan Dungs! Contrast these with the mellow sounding Gems Horn and the trickiness of the Ocarina. Hear the blaring Turkish Schnib and the Zulu warrior Kudu Horns. Marvel at the Cembasso, Verdi’s tuba with the bell going forward – such an amazing variety of sights and sounds. A marvellous musical journey and a brilliant introduction to brass instruments for children of all ages.


Tickets: £6 adults,   £3 children
