20th edition of AU’s TubaChristmas set for Saturday, Dec. 7

ASHLAND, Ohio – The 20th year of Ashland University’s TubaChristmas will take place on Saturday, Dec. 7, starting at noon at Hugo Young Theatre in the Center for the Arts. The annual concert features traditional holiday favorites played on tubas, euphoniums, baritones and sousaphones, and is free and open to the public.

Hundreds, maybe even thousands, of TubaChristmas events take place throughout the world. The first such concert was held in 1974 and now ensembles everywhere take the opportunity to showcase seasonal melodies in a fun, unique way. At AU, TubaChristmas has taken place every year since 2003, with the exception of 2020 due to the pandemic.

Scott Garlock, professor of music at AU, will conduct TubaChristmas and encourages one and all to attend one of “the most unique and fun Christmas sounds that you can sing along with.”

He added, “It’s free, it’s fun and it’s festive.”
