A Little bit about
TUBACHRISTMAS: MERRY TUBACHRISTMAS is
celebrating its 37th Anniversary created by
Harvey Phillips, MERRY TUBACHRISTMAS
"2010" concerts will be presented
in over 180 cities throughout the United
States and in several foreign countries.
Phillips was inspired to create TUBACHRISTMAS
as an annual event honoring his teacher, the
late great tubist William J. Bell (born
Christmas Day, 1902). Every Christmas season,
tuba and euphonium players of all ages, from
specific geographic areas, gather to pay
respect - through William J. Bell - to all
the great artists/teachers who represent
their heritage. Every TUBACHRISTMAS
performance features traditional Christmas
carols especially arranged for the first
TUBACHRISTMAS, (December 22, 1974 in
NYC's Rockefeller Plaza) by American
composer Alec Wilder (died Christmas Eve,
1980). Through Wilder, TUBACHRISTMAS concerts
pay grateful tribute to composers who have
embraced these noble instruments with solo
and ensemble compositions. Depending on the
population of any given geographic area,
TUBACHRISTMAS ensembles may attract multiples
of 100 participants aged 8 to 85 years! The
warm, rich organ-like sound of the
tuba-euphonium choir has won the ears and
hearts of every audience. It is no wonder
that TUBACHRISTMAS is an established
Christmas tradition in cities throughout the
world.
