                               TUBACHRISTMAS

This year marks the 40th anniversary for TUBACHRISTMAS concerts/events which are presented throughout the world.  Tuba and baritone/euphonium players of all ages, skill levels, and from all walks of life gather to play Christmas music arranged specifically for their instruments.  TUBACHRISTMAS was conceived in 1974 by Harvey Phillips as a tribute to his teacher and mentor William J. Bell, born on Christmas Day, 1902.  These concerts reflect on our heritage and honor all great artists/teachers whose legacy has given us high performance standards, well structured pedagogy, professional integrity, personal values and a camaraderie envied by all other instrumentalists.

This performance will be the fourth time in five years that the event has been held in Logan.  More information about the TUBACHRISTMAS organization can be found at the TUBACHRISTMAS website: http://tubachristmas.com/.
