Brass Lowdown
YolanDa Brown joins tuba player Lee Tsarmaklis and trombone player Dave Whitehouse to get the inside scoop on the low brass section of the orchestra. What exactly is the low brass section? As well as their respective trombone and tuba, Dave and Lee have to play multiple instruments ranging from the cimbasso, to the alto trombone, to the sousaphone and the ‘baritone thingy’. But do they all actually sound good? Dave and Lee reveal their thoughts on these mysterious instruments, and take us through some of the best low brass moments in music. A listener also asks whether a brass player would ever get paid less if all they had was rests for a whole symphonic movement, and we find out Dave and Lee’s essential tour items (aside from anything musical)… Produced by Tandem Productions for the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
