TubaChristmas is back. After two years without the event in Jackson, the low brass celebration of the season is returning on December 3rd.
TubaChristmas was originally created by Dr. Harvey Phillips in 1974 and has become a feature around the world prior to Christmas.
The event features tuba and euphonium players of all ages in over 300 venues to gather and play Christmas carols especially arranged for low brass.
The ensembles have ranged in size from 835 players in Kansas City in 2018, to just a quartet in other locations.
In Jackson, the group typically numbers between 15 and 20 musicians. TubaChristmas began in Jackson nearly 30 years ago, and is underwritten by the Jackson Hole Community Band.
The National Museum of Wildlife Art provides their atrium for the performance. It is open to any euphonium or tuba players around the region. Musicians from as far away as Salt Lake City have participated in the past.
A single rehearsal begins at 9:00 am in the Center for the Arts music wing and the free performance begins at the museum at noon December 3rd led by conductor Don Cushman.
