0 to 60 - Tuba and Piano

Zero to Sixty encapsulates the thrill of driving the fastest street-legal car in the world: the Tesla S P100D, which can go from zero to sixty mph in under two and a half seconds. The work is a tour de force for the soloist, demanding a great deal of flexibility and dexterity. Zero to Sixty was written for and premiered by Preston Light, at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music in 2017. Buckle up!
