Info for Nothing but Tuba

21 meters 60: that's the length of the tubes of the three instruments that give us an extraordinarily low-frequency experience on a new GENUIN album: Tubists Constantin Hartwig, Fabian Neckermann, and Steffen Schmid perform music from Monteverdi to the present on their trio's debut album. Their creative arrangements combine a wide variety of styles and genres: Monteverdi's canzonettas are given a completely new warmth and roundness. Astor Piazzolla's famous Libertango surprises us with pulsating rhythms and rough edges. And finally, the three tuba players take us to the cinema, to a tongue-in-cheek and breathtaking homage to Morricone. Our recommendation: take a deep breath and immerse yourself in this extraordinary world of sound!

The three tubists of Trio 21meter60 founded their ensemble with its unusual name in 2016. Although the trio consisted of an unprecedented combination of instruments, the first recital season, which included 35 performances to thrilled audiences, was an outstanding success.

The young musicians have set themselves the goal of eliminating prejudices against their instrument and proving it is possible for three tubas to perform chamber music. The sky is the limit when it comes to the ensemble’s inventiveness: In its own arrangements, the ensemble exhausts the possibilities of the tuba in a repertoire going back 500 years. Placing the familiar in a new context, performing serious themes playfully, giving serious recitals with a twinkle in their eye—this fine balance is masterfully achieved by the tubists.

In addition to important cooperations with the Deutscher Musikrat, Buffet Crampon Group and the Deutsches Tubaforum e. V, the ensemble appears regularly at renowned festivals such as the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival or the Nieder-Mooser Konzertsommer. Trio 21meter60 strives to continuously expand the repertoire for three tubas through its own arrangements and commissioned works. The press fully affirms the ensemble concept when they say: “Bravo, keep it up!”
