Participants and program to be announced from the stage

Directed by Professor of Tuba and Euphonium Justin Benavidez, Tuba Mirum consists of members of the tuba and euphonium studio at the Eastman School of Music. The ensemble performs two concerts each year with repertory from Bach to Zappa, and the current members of the ensemble range from first year undergraduate students to doctoral students.

Tuba Mirum actively promotes the performance of underrepresented musical genres and composer identities. This includes unique and original music written for tuba/euphonium ensemble as well as arrangements.

Tuba Mirum was founded by Cherry Beauregard, former Professor of Tuba, and was named The Tuba + so that other instruments could be included. After about a year the name was changed to Tuba Mirum (“wondrous war-trumpet”, from the Latin Requiem Mass) at the suggestion of Eastman’s former Director and Dean, James Undercofler.
