( KNZA )-The 19th annual Merry Tuba Christmas will be held Saturday in Hiawatha.
The free event will take place at 12 noon on the 1st floor of the Brown County Courthouse.
Jerry Speidel helps coordinate the concert...( play audio )
Speidel says anyone who would like to perform should show up that morning around 10 for practice.
Merry Tuba Christmas is part of a national event that was started almost 40 years ago by tuba player and teacher Harry Phillips, who died in October 2010.
The first Merry Tuba Christmas concert was in 1974 in Rockefeller Plaza, New York. There are around 250 concerts in the United States and additional ones in Canada and Switzerland. Hiawatha’s concert is usually only one of a half-dozen held in Kansas each year.
