Roger
Bobo, a legendary tuba virtuoso, was
born in 1938 in Los Angeles, where he started his tuba studies at the age of
12, later going to study at the Eastman School of Music. He was simultaneously appointed tubist
with the Rochester Philharmonic, a post he maintained for six years until his
graduation from Eastman with B.M. and M.M. degrees. In 1961 Bobo played the first-ever tuba recital at New
YorkÕs Carnegie Recital Hall to critical acclaim, firmly establishing the tuba
as a solo instrument in its own right.
In
1962 Bobo joined the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam. In 1964 he returned to the U.S. to
assume the position of tubist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, a position he
held for 25 years. A founding
member of the Los Angeles Brass Quintet, Bobo toured and recorded extensively
with that ensemble.
In
1990 he moved to Italy where he taught at the Fiesole Scuola di Musica. He also taught at the Lausanne
Conservatory in Switzerland and at the Royal Northern College of Music in
Manchester, England. He currently
resides in Japan and teaches at the Musashino School of Music in Tokyo.
