Celebrating our Silver Jubilee! The Ann Arbor TubaChristmas is celebrating it’s twenty-fifth year. This free concert brings together over 40 tuba and euphonium players in a fun and festive musical showcase. Holiday carols are heard as never before as these instruments demonstrate their melodic and harmonious qualities. Conducted by George Thompson, this family favorite gets better every year.

A special treat will feature the velvety, golden tones (and voice) of Dr Brendan Ige, guest soloist on Santa Wants A Tuba for Christmas.
