Final low pitched call for Tuba Carols

The low pitched call has gone out for festive tuba players and friends to join the annual fund raising bash at St Paul's Cathedral.

Tuba carols
 

A reminder has been sent out to low pitched players that the annual ‘Tuba Carols’ event will take place on Sunday December 14th.

All you have to do is bring along your tuba, a music stand, colourful warm clothes and a bit of festive spirit!

Inclusive

And as all tuba players live in an all-inclusive musical world of goodness and charity there will be a warm welcome for those of a baritone, euphonium, cimbasso, helicon, ophicleide, serpent, sousaphone or even Wagner tuba persuasion.

As always the event will be raising much needed funds for a great charitable cause — The Evelina Children’s Hospital.

So make sure you get along and enjoy yourselves.
