UMKC Tuba-Euphonium Ensemble

The UMKC Tuba-Euphonium Ensemble is conducted by Professor Thomas Stein. They usually have sixteen players of undergraduate and graduate students. The group has performed at prestigious events like the 2006 U.S. Army Band Tuba-Euphonium Conference in Washington, D.C. and the 2003, 2005, and 2007 Great Plains Regional Tuba-Euphonium Conference.

In addition to the large ensemble, the studio splits into several quartets. These quartets perform on campus throughout the semester and some even compete. I competed against two of their quartets at the 2008 International Tuba-Euphonium Conference in Cincinnati, Ohio this past June. Tuba-euphonium pedagogy is alive and well at this school!

Below is a list of repertoire that this ensemble has done. Note that they consistently do a balance of transcriptions, arrangements, and original compositions for tuba-euphonium ensemble.
