Dani Dier was a guest on the Mix Morning Show with Gary Rivers. Yes, she spoke about the upcoming TubaChristmas and a few other events coming to Stambaugh Auditorium. Like other "co-hosts" before her, Dani became a "phone-a-friend" for contestants hoping to win prizes on the Show. Take a listen!
Stambaugh Auditorium is excited to continue the TubaChristmas tradition. On December 5, 2021, at 3:30 PM, Stambaugh Auditorium will present Tuba Christmas, featuring an ensemble performing in front of a live in-person audience. In addition to the live in-person audience, the event will be live-streamed via the Digital Concert Hall app.
TubaChristmas, now in it’s 48th year, is a celebration of the holidays for which tuba players come together to perform a variety of Christmas classics. The various sizes and sounds of the instrument along with the spirit of the musicians make this event extraordinary.
In the past, the event has garnered participation from nearly 100 tuba players. The idea for TubaChristmas was conceived in 1974 by Harvey Phillips as a tribute to his teacher and mentor, William J. Bell, born on Christmas Day, 1902. The first TubaChristmas was conducted by Paul Lavalle in New York City’s Rockefeller Plaza Ice Rink on Sunday, December 22, 1974.
