Philharmonie entdecken · Kinderkonzert "Tuba Zum Anfassen" by Various, Od (2023/2023), RWE Pavillon, Essen, Germany

She's big and she's so shiny! The tuba is the lowest instrument in the brass family. The name comes from Latin and means "pipe" or "tube". Like all other brass instruments, the tuba consists of a coiled tube. The tuba is part of every wind orchestra, but it is also found in the symphony orchestra. To play you have to press the lips together with the right force and blow with the right strength - and then wonderfully deep, soft and warm tones sound. But it's best to hear and see for yourself! With the "Hands-on Instruments" series, we get up close and personal with the rich treasure of instruments and learn all sorts of exciting, funny and interesting anecdotes from first-hand musicians.
