We perform our commissioned works but can also offer our audiences a look at the lighter side of music making. We all introduce the programme and speaking to the audience is an important element in our recitals. Our audience response is very favourable. Most people are unsure about a tuba quartet before they come to our concerts and many people have come to further performances and passed on very favourable comments to their friends and concert promoters. Tubalat performs quite a few educational concerts every year.
Educational concerts are an important aspect of our work.
Performing in schools combines entertainment and education. We try to portray a light-hearted attitude to music making but also offer more demanding music and endeavour to teach the children about basic musical aspects such as form, style and music history and about contemporary music. It is essential, in our opinion, to educate the children, and to make the experience as enjoyable as possible, to create an audience for the next generation. In 1998 Tubalat performed at Buckingham Palace for the 50th Birthday celebrations of Prince Charles. To perform for Prince Charles was a great honour.
