If you’re an opera fan, you have probably heard the virtuosic QUEEN OF THE NIGHT aria from Mozart’s opera MAGIC FLUTE. But there’s a pretty good chance you have NOT heard it played on the tuba! Today’s Beautiful Music features the phenomenally talented tuba player Velvet Brown with pianist Margaret McDonald. And because after you listen, I know you will want to know more about this terrific instrumentalist, who is a Distinguished Professor of Music at Penn State, there is also a link to Velvet Brown’s bio.
