TROY — An outstanding tuba concert will take place in the East Room at Hayner on Tuesday, Feb. 27 at 7:30 p.m. featuring The VIP Euphonium Group. This trio of euphoniums includes Francis Laws, Ted Shuttleworth and Brent Hayden. All are retired educators and current members of the Ohio Valley British Brass Band, which was founded by Mr. Laws and Ed Nickol in 1992. Although the tuba is capable of great power, in the hands of these skilled gentlemen you will find it to be exciting, tender, warm and bright. The trio has chosen to share Vivaldi, Saint-Saens, Shostakovich as well as the more modern composer, Stephen Bulla. Although these concerts are designed for music lovers of all types, this concert will be an excellent opportunity to expose young music students to these wonderful horns. The musicians will take time to share some of the history of the music and why they love the pieces they have chosen.
