The Concertino for tuba and band will receive its Japanese premiere in May, performed by the Tokyo Symphonic Wind ensemble with Sergio Carolino as soloist. Sergio has premiered the work all around the world, including his native Portugal, Hong Kong, the USA and now Japan

The piece is divided into two halves. The first is couched in a Classical, common-chord musical language, developing traditional material in a slow, soulful way. The second half develops the same material, but utilising beat-oriented styles such as funk and techno, resulting in a varied musical canvas upon which the soloist can express themselves in spectacular fashion
