"From the Back Row to Center Stage - Music from the Baroque to Love Songs Written Last Tuesday" October 10, 2010

Hear the oft overlooked bass voice of the brass family - the tuba - in a presentation that features the husband and wife team of Michael Milnarik (tubist) and Sanae Kanda (pianist/composer). The tuba is the youngest member of the brass family and because of this it is often the most misunderstood. From fast and furious to poignant lyricism to comical splendor, Milnarik and Kanda will take you on a journey of music written for the tuba that will leave you surprised by what you thought you knew of the capabilities of this charming instrument.
