Tim Buzbee

Tim Buzbee "is a fine musician who can make his tuba varously sing like a violin and bark like an angered dog, and touch all those bases in between. His sense of phrasing is as astonishing as his sense of his instrument's tone coloring" raved Fanfare Magazine about Tim's debut solo cd, BUZZED. Tim is the principal tubist with the Iceland Symphony, a postion he has held since 2005, and an international solist. As a solist he has performed concerts and masterclasses around the world, and currently has two solo cds. He has been solist with the Iceland Symphony, Singapore Symphony, Acapulco Symphony, and the Marshall Symphony. Tim has held principal tuba position in several orchestras including the Chicago Civic Orchestra, Acapulco Philharmonic, Singapore Symphony, Gavle Symphony, and the Malmo Symphony. Tim has won jobs in 7 different countries! Buzbee has been invited to perform as guest tubist with many other orchestras including the Chicago Symphony, Danish Radio Orchestra, Swedish Radio Orchestra, Dallas Wind Symphony, Malaysia Philharmonic and the Helsingborg Symphony. Buzbee knows he would probably be flipping burgers if not for the help of teachers Ed Jones, Gene Pokorny, and Matt Good.
