The USF Tuba-Euphonium Studio welcomes one of the world's leading artists, Norwegian tubist 
Oystein Baadsvik. Mr. Baadsvik is the only tuba virtuoso to have carved out a career exclusively as 
a soloist, rather than becoming a member of an orchestra or accepting a teaching post. His multi-
faceted musical career as a soloist, chamber musician, lecturer and recording artist has taken him all 
over the world. The unique virtuosity and musicality Mr. Baadsviks brings to the tuba has 

established him as the exemplar of the instrument.
