TubaChristmas is just around the corner! This annual event features tuba and euphonium players from the Upper Peninsula and beyond playing familiar Christmas carols. It is free and open to the public. In addition to the in-person performance, it will be live-streamed by Peter White Public Library on their Facebook page.

Every TUBACHRISTMAS performance features traditional Christmas carols arranged for the first TUBACHRISTMAS, December 22, 1974 on “The Rink at Rockefeller Center.”  That concert was organized by the great tubist, Harvey Phillips, and carols were specially arranged by famous American composer, Alec Wilder.  In the 47 years since that first concert, 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 has become an established Christmas tradition in Marquette, as well as cities throughout the world.
