"STORIES..." Crossover album by Thomas Leleu
<p>Hi everyone!</p>
<p>My name is Thomas Leleu, and I am a concert tuba player. I won the French award, the <em>Victoires de la Musique Classique in 2012</em> and I have been giving concerts and master classes internationally for a few years now. <strong>After 10 years at the Marseille Philharmonic Orchestra where I was solo tubist</strong>, I now live in Berlin and I am focusing solely on my soloist career via different projects.</p>
<p><strong>My dream is to be able to allow a large audience to discover my instrument, and to break the frontiers between genres.</strong></p>
<p><strong>My new project is a crossover project, which means that it is a mix of genres going from classical music to French songs, tango and bossa nova.</strong> It will be an original trio, consisting of the tuba, the piano and the vibraphone. The main themes will be around the voice and songs: classical, Brazilian, Argentine, German and French.</p>
<p>My sponsor Buffet Crampon and the Melton Meinl Weston brand whom I collaborate with as an ambassador, are supporting this recording project. The recording will be carried out by the German label Ars Produktion. </p>
<p>I am very happy and proud to be working with Buffet Crampon and Melton Meinl Weston since many years and would like to thank them for their unfailing support.</p>
<p>I will also be personally financing part of this recording which is so important to me!</p>
<p>The production costs being important, I am asking for your support.</p>
<p><strong>Thank you for your help with this project, for your enthusiasm, your warm words of encouragements. Please don't hesitate to share the link to this page!</strong></p>
<p>Warm regards</p>
<p>Thomas</p>

<p>The funds will be paid 100% directly to the account of my association "Tuba French Touch" and used only for this project in order to make the production of this recording possible.</p>

<p>What if the crowdfunding goes beyond our expectations?</p>
<p><strong>That would be a dream come true!</strong> I would be able to increase the visibility of my project (advertising budget, digital marketing) and to work on the scenic aspect of the project.</p>
