Aug 14 Tuba Competition
Monday morning dawned another beautiful day in Jeju. Not a big surprise, seems most days here at this time of year are beautiful!
This was the first round of the Tuba Solo Competition. For the first round, all competitors were required to perform the Vaughan Willliams Tuba Concerto movement 1 and they could choose to perform movement 2 of either the Gregson Concerto or the Arutunian Sonata. Following a series of very fine performances, the following performers were advanced to the second round:
Mun Ji-Woong
Yusuke Hashimoto
Harumi Baba
Kasumi Terayama
Meng-Hsin Tsai
Kent Eschelman
Yoo Kyoung-Suk
There will now be a couple of days pause in the Euphonium and Tuba Competition until Wednesday the 16th when each will have the second round of competition. In the meantime, there is time for piano rehearsals and some R&R for everyone. The beaches are beckoning!!
