T for Tuba (1999) Elizabeth Raum

Tom McCaslin has been described by Fanfare Magazine as “one of the contemporary tuba virtuosos.” Originally from Regina, Saskatchewan, McCaslin’s playing and teaching have taken him around the globe. He has performed and taught in Canada, the United States, Switzerland, Portugal, Finland, New Zealand and Australia.

As an orchestral musician he has performed with the Minnesota Orchestra, the Detroit Symphony, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the North Carolina Symphony, the New Mexico Symphony, the Orquestra Sinfónica do Porto Casa da Música (Portugal), the Lahti Symphony (Finland) and was acting Principal Tuba in the Auckland Philharmonia (New Zealand).

McCaslin has three commercially released solo albums. His most recent: Chasing Light and Sound: The Tuba Music of Elizabeth Raum (2022) garnered a nomination for Mr. McCaslin as “Classical Artist of the Year” by the West Coast music awards.

McCaslin received degrees from McGill University and Arizona State University, with extensive study with legendary tubists John Griffiths, Fritz Kaenzig, Roger Bobo, Dennis Miller, and Samuel Pilafian.

McCaslin is a Yamaha Performing Artist and plays exclusively on Yamaha instruments. When not sitting behind his tuba he relishes his time with family, cycling, espresso, and laughing as much as humanly possible.
