Whether you play the
tuba or euphonium or simply enjoy holiday music, you are invited to the
University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point’s fifth annual Tuba Christmas concert on
Friday, Dec. 11.
Tuba
Christmas concerts, honoring the late tubist William J. Bell, are held annually
in more than 250 cities throughout the world and feature traditional Christmas
carols specially arranged by American composer Alec Wilder. The warm, rich
organ-like sound of the low brass ensemble has won the hearts of everywhere.
Players
of all ages will rehearse from 5–6:30 p.m. Dec. 11 in Michelsen Hall of the
Noel Fine Arts Center and then perform in a free public concert at 7:30 p.m.,
also in Michelsen Hall. Participants and audience members are encouraged to
wear festive attire.
Registration
for performers is $10 per person, which includes a Tuba Christmas 2015
commemorative button. Performers also are required to purchase music for
“Carols for a Merry Tuba Christmas,” available at check-in. Chairs and stands
are provided.
