The 2014 International Tuba & Euphonium Conference celebrates its 30th
anniversary at Indiana University later this month and will feature an All Stereogram Recital featuring special guests:
Kelly Thomas, Tuba;
Patrick Nyren, Euphonium;
Beth Mitchell, Tuba;
& the composer of Stereograms:
David Brubeck, Bass Trombone
With very special guest, Chao-Chun Chen, trombone
And a surprise guest jazz artist TBA
Originally for solo bass trombone or euphonium, Stereograms have been described as “Bobby McFerrin meets the Bach Cello Suites”. Over 50 have been published, performed, and recorded throughout the globe, and separate editions have been transcribed for tuba and baritone saxophone.
By alternating between melody and accompaniment, Stereograms give the aural illusion of
two or three parts within a single melodic line. Stereograms will allow performers to engage all types of audiences with this beatbox style of playing, and hold their attention for 30 minutes or more. Perfect as encores or when combined into suites, The Stereograms will also be demonstrated as the basis of a successful jazz duo, and innovative mixed low-brass quartet.
