Sorry , I don't know anything about the tubist. However, there was a great piece done on NPR last Spring, shortly before the fighting started, about this orchestra. Many of the performers were, at one time, members of other major orchestras. According to the NPR segment, the orchestra was a full 100+ member group of some reknown. The orchestra was a professional group until the first gulf war. Since then, it has been held together by a love of music and to maintain some dignity.
