There is not enough repertoire written for young musicians, and even less so when you look to program music that represents a broader perspective and life experience. Noticing a gap in the repertoire, I wanted to create an avenue for my fellow tuba and euphonium players to take action and help expand the music available to our community and to young musicians in particular. Now introducing the Repertoire Expansion Project.

The Repertoire Expansion Project seeks to facilitate the commissioning of new educational-level works by composers who are historically underrepresented in the tuba and euphonium repertoire.

You can learn more about our first consortium with Mica Redden here.

The second commission consortium through the Repertoire Expansion Project is in collaboration with Jeremy Hunter (they/them).
