The tuba is the instrument of the year 2024. The aim of this initiative by the German music councils is to focus on the deepest of all brass instruments. And that is exactly what Matthias Raggl, tubist of the State Philharmonic and part of the "Tuba Team Bavaria", will do in the 2nd chamber concert. The versatility of the youngest orchestral instrument is shown in original solo compositions by Mike Forbes and James Meador as well as a baroque cello sonata arranged for tuba and marimba. Works in tuba quartet formation and the "Konsertant Svit" by Christer Danielsson for solo tuba and brass quartet are on the program. A wide variety of playing techniques, such as beatbox and multiphonics, will be heard: tuba virtuoso and powerful in sound, velvety and filigree!
