Heidelberg University’s School of Music & Theatre is getting ready to host its 27th annual TubaChristmas on Sunday, Dec. 16.
Local and area tuba and euphonium players of all ages are invited to come together on that day to perform a program of traditional Christmas carols especially arranged by American composer Alec Wilder. Jon Waters, assistant professor of music and director of bands, is conducting TubaChristmas.
For those who would like to perform in TubaChristmas, the schedule is as follows:
Registration ($10 fee) and rehearsal – 1 p.m.
Performance – 3 p.m.
Annually, TubaChristmas concerts are presented in more than 300 cities throughout the U.S. and in several foreign countries. Harvey Phillips was inspired to create TubaChristmas to h onor his mentor/teacher, the late tubist William J. Bell.
All events at Heidelberg take place in Wickham Great Hall. Heidelberg invites you to bring your family and friends to this Christmas tradition, free of charge.
