Dazzling and unique in Germany – that's the Melton Tuba Quartett. The four tuba players have been performing together since 1987 and have won a place in the hearts of audiences at home and abroad. One focus of their work is children's and family concerts, but expanding the original repertoire for this unusual instrumentation also plays a major role. Several composers have already taken on the challenge of creating works especially for the four gentlemen.

After studying the tuba privately and completing his military service in the Air Force Music Corps, tuba player Heiko Triebener first played in the then Saarbrücken Radio Symphony Orchestra and in the Beethoven Orchestra Bonn, before becoming a member of the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra in 1993, where he is also involved in music education. He is very active as a chamber musician, as a member of the Melton Tuba Quartet, of a wind quintet of the Bamberg Symphony, and of a cabaret duo. He also teaches tuba at the Würzburg University of Music.

After early success in competitions and his tuba studies in Cologne, Ulrich Haas took up his first orchestral post in 1982 with the Kassel State Theatre Orchestra, moving a year later to the Duisburg Philharmonic Orchestra, where he still plays as principal tuba today. Alongside his orchestral work, he plays in various chamber music ensembles, including the Melton Tuba Quartett, and teaches his instrument as a professor at the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen.
