The eighth annual Solomons Tubachristmas event is set for 7:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 21, at Southern Calvert Baptist Church, 12140 H. G. Trueman Rd. in Lusby.

Tubachristmas performances feature traditional Christmas carols arranged for tuba and baritone/euphonium players. Created by renowned American tuba artist and teacher Harvey Phillips, Tubachristmas concerts will be presented in more than 200 cities throughout the United States and in several foreign countries this season. Phillips was inspired to create Tubachristmas to honor his teacher and mentor, William Bell, born on Christmas Day, 1902. Now an established Christmas tradition around the world, Tubachristmas is celebrating its 36th anniversary.

The Tubachristmas performance is open to the public and free of charge. All low brass players are welcome to play in the group. Details are available at www.tubachristmas.com.
