Thomas Leleu: Tuba Masterclass
Scheidt Family Preforming Arts Center
Hosted by Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music

Thomas Leleu, world-renowned tuba artist and winner of multiple French Grammy Awards, presents a masterclass for the tuba and euphonium players of Memphis. At only 34 years of age, Thomas Leleu is considered as “one of the best tuba players of the world” (Radio France) and a “world star of the tuba” (Europe 1, TMC – french national TV). He is one of the few tuba player to exclusively lead a solo career. This iconoclastic artist stands where genres mix: a classical soloist, passionate about world music, modern music and pop… « This absolute tuba genius (La Nouvelle République), acknowledged by his peers, already has an impressive career. In his hands the tuba reveals all its richness, fineness and complexity, a range that may seem endless, where it can finally find a new breath, a new youth. Thomas Leleu is a true prodigy and shows an exceptional and surprising musicality and agility thereby dusting off the traditional image of the tuba.
