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
