SymbiosisDuo to play tuba/euphonium concert at CCU
Comprised of music professors Stacy Baker on tuba and Gail Robertson on euphonium, SymbiosisDuo, accompanied by Deborah Eastwood on cornet/flugelhorn and Alex Thio on piano, will play an eclectic program that includes selections such as “Ave Maria,” “I Got Your Bach” and “Time to Say Goodbye (Con Te Partiro).”
Baker and Robertson formed SymbiosisDuo in 2007 to showcase the tuba/euphonium pairing as a performance medium and to promote and disseminate new works for this unique combination of brass instruments.

Baker is professor of music – tuba/euphonium at Morehead State University in Morehead, Ky., and has toured and recorded throughout the United States and Europe. Robertson is instructor of euphonium and tuba at the University of Central Florida and past president of the International Women’s Brass Conference (IWBC).
