From IPR – Elegant Tuba: Carol Jantsch
Interlochen Public Radio has an interview, titled “Elegant Tuba”, by Kate Botello with tubist Carol Jantsch that is well worth a listen. In this interview, Ms. Jantsch plays Debussy’s Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, accompanied by Ellen Sommer-Bottorf. Really nice…
Ms. Jantsch is also the first woman to hold a Principal Tuba Chair in a major US Orchestra.
