Come along to Tuba Carols at St Paul's Cathedral

The annual appeal has gone out for festive fun on a variety of tubas...

Tuba carols
 

This year's popular Tuba Carols event will take place on Sunday 13th December in front of St Paul's Cathedral (EC4M 8AD) in the heart of London.

Kick off

It will all kick off at 12.45pm and finish at 2.30pm — and all you have to do is bring your, baritone euphonium or tuba (of all varieties), a music stand and colourful clothing!

So if you fancy having a blow on your cimbasso, helicon, ophicleide, serpent, sousaphone or even Wagner tuba you'll be very welcome too!David Powell

Join us

Conductor, David Powell told 4BR: "We hope as many players as possible can join us once more. We will be having plenty of fun but will also be raising money for The Evelina Children's Hospital.

So if you fancy having a blow on your cimbasso, helicon, ophicleide, serpent, sousaphone or even Wagner tuba you'll be very welcome too!"
