The annual TubaChristmas event will be held on Saturday, Dec. 19. This free public concert has become a beloved tradition in the Colebrook community. At Trinity United Methodist Church on Bridge Street, the golden glow of the stained glass windows is the perfect setting for the glorious sounds of tubas, euphoniums and baritone horns. The event is presented by the Great North Woods Committee for the Arts.
Each year, participants come to Colebrook from all around New England and beyond. Several of them play in other TubaChristmas events, but claim Colebrook’s as their favorite. The setting, the hospitality, and the spirited audience are all part of their fun. Douglas Nelson of Keene and Colebrook will return to conduct the family friendly program, hosted with his daughter, Sharon Pearson. It will include many beloved Christmas carols, with several for the audience to sing along. As in recent years, Nelson has also arranged a special feature for a quartet.
A participation fee for players helps support the Harvey Philips Foundation, which produces and distributes the music. Once again this year their fees will be covered by Ron Guerin of Calex Environmental Consulting, who recognizes the very special value of this unique performance, and how much it depends on players willing to share their time and talent with Colebrook. Calex specializes in assisting companies with compliance with environmental and occupational regulations (www.calexenvironmental.com).
The 1 p.m. concert is free, but donations are requested to help offset the other costs of this very special event. Proceeds then help support the Great North Woods Committee for the Arts.
