Beautiful classical tuba playing by Zach Collins, tuba virtuoso and professor at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Mixed and Mastered by Jon.

This album won the 2021 Roger Bobo Award for Excellence in Recording from the International Tuba and Euphonium Association.

Zach Collins: “​Ever since Doug Briley wrote “Zachary Variations” for me it had always been in the back of my mind to undertake recording a solo album. Over the years, I have had the good fortune of having friends, colleagues, and students who have written solos and chamber pieces for me to perform. However, the time and resources needed to complete a solo album have always seemed to be just out of reach. Thankfully, IUP awarded me a sabbatical for spring 2019, during which, with the help of many friends, I was able to complete this project. My hope is that this album brings a collection of solo works and a few chamber ensembles to the tuba-euphonium community that can find a place on recital programs.

Chronicle is dedicated to the teachers to whom I am indebted for their influence and example to me: Richard Murrow, Jim Self, Tommy Johnson, Norm Pearson, Doug Tornquist, and Gale Rask.”
