Repertoire
Other than original pieces for tuba, I have been actively performing music for strings, winds, and vocal music written by Baroque, Classical, and Romantic composers. Especially J.S.Bach and R.Schumann are my favorite and I often select their music for my concert program. I am also familiar with chamber music such as brass quintet.
