Quartet "XL"

Quartet Tuba XL was established in 2002 as the first of such a kind in the region. It consists of mainly professional musicians who play in Croatian orchestras, following modern trends and willing to make those trends popular in Croatia as well. Since tuba is primarily an orchestra instrument, it was our wish to demonstrate that it can equally be adapted to solo and chamber music playing. The ensemble's repertoire varies from classic masters (Palestrina, Bach, Handel...) to jazz and contemporary composers.

The musician of the «XL» Quartet, after graduating from the Academy of Music, have all worked with most prominent professionals of the wind instruments like: R.Bobo, M.Culberston, L.Bazsinka, W.Hilingers, D.Perantoni, etc.... the members of the quartet are: Josip Kapović, Mario Šincek, Viktor Kirčenkov and Krunoslav Babić.
