Tuba and euphonium players of all ages will join together during ChristmasVille to perform traditional Christmas carols. Tuba Christmas concerts/events are presented throughout the world. Tuba Christmas was conceived in 1974 as a tribute to the late artist/teacher William J. Bell, born on Christmas Day, 1902. Through the legendary William J. Bell we reflect on our heritage and honor all great artists/teachers whose legacy has given us high performance standards, well structured pedagogy, professional integrity, personal values and a camaraderie envied by all other instrumentalists.
