About TubaChristmas
TubaChristmas is a music concert held in cities worldwide that celebrates those who play, teach and compose music for instruments in the tuba family, including the tuba, sousaphone, baritone and euphonium. Some participants bring rarer members of the family such as the hélicon, ophicleide, serpent and double bell euphonium. TubaChristmas concerts vary in size from a quartet (two euphoniums and two tubas), to several hundred at their largest events.
