Upcoming Concerts
Zorzal Ensemble: Resistance and Endurance: Music from Colonial Latin America, the Sephardic Diaspora, and the Convivencia
Zorzal (Spanish for wood thrush) is a vocal and instrumental ensemble dedicated to the performance of Spanish, Latin American, and Sephardic music from the 12th century to the present. This concert, Resistance and Endurance: Music from Colonial Latin America, the Sephardic Diaspora, and the Convivencia, features folkloric music from 18th century Peru, songs from the Sephardic community in Sarajevo, and Spanish music based on vibrant Arab and New World rhythms. According to Artistic Director Lynn Gumert, “the concert weaves together songs about conquest and resistance, colonization, war and slavery, but also explores the way that music traditions are transformed at the crossroads of different cultures.” For more information, please visit our website, Enjoy this FREE concert with us!

Tuba Christmas
Celebrating 14 years of Tuba Christmas in Woodstown, NJ!
Due to inclement weather the Tuba Christmas Concert is cancelled for today, 12/14. We apologize for any inconvenience. Be sure to stay tuned for the remainder of our season concerts.
COORDINATOR: Mr. Jim Ludlam CONTACT : [email protected]
A limited number of “Carols for a Merry Tuba Christmas” will be available at registration for purchase, HOWEVER, we recommend purchasing prior from TubaChristmas.com. This is the music which will be performed for the evening’s concert.
WHAT IS TUBA CHRISTMAS? 2025 is the 51st anniversary for TUBA CHRISTMAS concerts/events which are presented throughout the world. TUBA CHRISTMAS was conceived in 1974 by Harvey Phillips as a tribute to his teacher and mentor William J. Bell, born on Christmas Day, 1902. Through the legendary William J. Bell we reflect on our heritage and honor all great artists/teachers whose legacy has given us high performance standards, well structured pedagogy, professional integrity, personal values and a camaraderie envied by all other instrumentalists. The first TUBA CHRISTMAS was conducted by Paul Lavalle in New York City's Rockefeller Plaza Ice Rink on Sunday, December 22, 1974. Traditional Christmas music performed at the first TUBA CHRISTMAS was arranged by American composer Alec Wilder who ironically died on Christmas Eve, 1980. Wilder composed many solo and ensemble compositions for tuba and euphonium. He was a loyal supporter of every effort to improve the literature and public image of our chosen instruments. Through Alec Wilder we express our respect and gratitude to all composers who continue to embrace our instruments with their compositions and contribute to the ever growing solo and ensemble repertoire for tuba and euphonium.
