This recording captures the Auckland Philharmonia’s ‘Tuba Tones’ concert, performed at St Luke's Remuera as part of the ‘In Your Neighbourhood’ series. Principal Tuba Alex Jeantou leads a brass ensemble of orchestra colleagues in a showcase of chamber music, highlighting the resonant versatility of the tuba. He was joined by his colleagues: Drew Morgan (horn), Carl Wells (horn), Taran Plamondon (horn), Huw Dann (trumpet), Jonah Levy (trumpet), Orson Paine (trumpet), Ben Lovell Greene (trumpet), Douglas Cross (trombone).

The programme features a mix of jazz-influenced works and Romantic gems. Repertoire includes André Previn’s Four Outings for Brass, Morley Calvert’s Suite from the Monteregian Hills, and Oskar Böhme’s Sextet. The performance also spotlights two works by Swedish composer Christer Danielsson: Capriccio da camera and Concertant Suite.
