    Awesome. I’m always delighted when an orchestra features one of its own as soloist, especially a fairly non-traditional solo instrument. It’s a good departure from the over-reliance on pianists, violinists and cellists as soloists, and it’s important for orchestras to make their public aware just how good their players are. I’m sure she’ll blow everyone away.

    I’m told she auditioned for the Philly tuba chair playing the Khachaturian Violin Concerto while still finishing college. She’s phenomenal!

    What’s
    next? A double bass soloist? the mind boggles.

    • James of Thames says:

      Have no fear, Sir. The Philly Orchestra’s esteemed Principal Double Bassist Harold Robinson has appeared with them on numerous occasions.

    What? In sixty years they’ve never performed the Vaughan Williams tuba concerto?! Are you sure?
