Timeline

1932

Constance Weldon (January 25, 1932 – August 7, 2020) was an American tuba player, who was the first woman to play the instrument in a major American orchestra.

Constance Janet Weldon was born in Winter Haven, Florida, on January 25, 1932.

Her father, George, was a groundskeeper and soon after Weldon was born the family moved to Miami, where he worked on the Vizcaya estate.

Her mother Edythe Roebke was a teacher.

Weldon started playing instruments at school, and by the time she was due to graduate from Miami Jackson High School, she had decided to study at the University of Miami and specialise in tuba performance.

She reportedly "fell in love with the tuba" after her father brought one home from a pawn shop.

1951

Weldon's performance career began in 1951 after auditioning for the Tanglewood Music Festival.

She spent the summer performing there and as a result was offered a position with the Rio de Janeiro Symphony Orchestra, but declined in order to finish her degree.

1953

She graduated with a BA in 1953 and continued to study for an MA in education.

1954

She also worked for the Netherlands Ballet Orchestra.

On her return to America, Weldon joined the Kansas City Philharmonic.

1960

In 1960 Weldon joined the University of Miami, as a full-time professor of tuba.

During her time there she was the founder and director of the University of Miami Tuba Ensemble.

The foundation of tuba chamber music ensembles by Weldon was pioneering.

1971

In 1971 she was appointed Assistant Dean for Undergraduate Studies at the Frost School of Music.

She also sponsored, with the University of Miami School of Music and the Tuba Society of Miami, the International Tuba Ensemble Competition Contest.

Many of her students became notable tuba players, including: Mike Roylance, principal tuba at the Boston Symphony Orchestra; James Jenkins, principal with the Jacksonville Symphony; Sam Pilafian, founder of Empire Brass.
