‘Boise Tuba Christmas’ Brings Big Holiday Sounds Downtown

Boise Tuba Christmas, a unique holiday ensemble, will perform at two downtown locations on Dec. 9. Tuba Christmas will perform at 3:30 p.m. at the Grove, near the outdoor Christmas tree, and at 4:30 p.m. at the Statehouse Rotunda. Both performances are free and open to the public.

Members of Tuba Christmas are baritone, euphonium, sousaphone and tuba players of all ages and ability. They are from local high schools, as well as local band directors, Boise State students and community members. Now in its 15th year in Boise, Tuba Christmas has become an annual holiday tradition for the whole family.

Tuba Christmas has been a tradition in many larger cities in the United States since its first performance in New York in 1974. For the past 15 years, Boise has been one of the few cities in the Northwest to present this unique concert.
