Summary: <p>This interview was conducted in association with the Southern Arizona Symphony Orchestra and the Southern Arizona Arts & Cultural Alliance.</p> <p>Hailed as “absolute tuba genius”, French tubaist Thomas Leleu is an unconventional artist at the height of his creative powers. The 35-year-old prodigy is equally at home performing as a classical soloist in concert halls across the world or experimenting through his own genre-defying recordings. Mr. Leleu was the first tuba player to win the prestigious French Victoires de la Musique Classique award for Soloist of the Year in 2012. His latest album ‘Born to Groove’ combines classical, jazz, pop, and world music.</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/takeoverloungetus/message
