Did you know that if you stretch out all the twists and coils, a tuba would be taller than three men standing on top of one another? Imagine playing this massive instrument! Tuba virtuoso Thomas Leleu is coming to Hong Kong bearing the gift of not one but TWO exciting programmes showcasing this gigantic shiny instrument and its cousins the trumpet, French horn and trombone. Join him and conductor Perry So on a 400-year journey to explore the exhilarating array of brass music played on the orchestra’s brightest, shiniest, loudest instruments!
