For 25 years Tubalaté has been one of the country's leading professional brass ensembles. Being the first ever tuba-euphonium ensemble to graduate and be awarded the prestigious Professional Performance Diploma from the Royal Northern College of Music, Tubalaté has been at the forefront of instrumental and repertoire development.
Their wide range of musical styles and flexibility of performance has gained them an international reputation for promoting the dynamic development of brass chamber music — regularly presenting familiar music contrasted with exciting new commissions, generating a repertoire which is innovative and unique.
Tubalaté travel worldwide, playing to audiences in Russia, Latvia and the United States, as well as throughout Europe. They have performed at many of this country's leading venues, including the South Bank, the Barbican. the Waterfront Hall (Belfast), the Bridgewater Hall and Birmingham Symphony Hall; also having made several appearances on radio and television. In 1998 Tubalaté received a Royal accolade performing at Buckingham Palace for Prince Charles's 50th birthday celebrations, hosted by the Queen.
The four members of Tubalaté are Paul Walton and John Powell (euphoniums), Ryan Breen and Les Neish (tubas). Their vision has brought Tubalaté to the forefront of brass playing, with innovation, musical intelligence and sparkling performance.
The quartet also offers a range of educational concerts and workshops. They have given master classes at major music conservatoires including the Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM), Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts (LIPA) and the St Petersburg (Russia) and Riga (Latvia) Conservatoires.
