Jazz in Vaux – Thomas Leleu Trio

An iconoclastic and genre-crossing artist, Thomas Leleu is one of the few tuba players in the world to pursue an exclusively concert career. Also a producer and composer, he returns with "Outsider," his new project (also recorded on an eponymous album). Ebullient and abundant, the talented artist pays homage through this project to all the music that inspired him and that made him, the child of the classical milieu, passionate about pop, jazz and Latin rhythms... an outsider.
Graduated with a 1st Prize in Tuba from the CNSM in Paris, winner of International Competitions in Germany, South Korea and Luxembourg, he was appointed at the age of 19, Solo Tuba of the Philharmonic Orchestra of the Marseille Opera. In 2018, invited to Berlin by Rolando Villazon, he was ZDF/Arte – “Stars von Morgen” (Stars of Tomorrow). In 2019, he was nominated in 3 categories at Opus Klassik in Germany.
