2020 Reno 'TubaChristmas' virtual concert video released
The virtual Reno TubaChristmas 2020 video is available for viewing here via Youtube. The video features tuba, euphonium, and baritone horn players of all ages from Northern Nevada and from California, Arizona, Oregon, Colorado, Kansas, New York, and Sweden.
Some of them play more than one part, which cannot happen in a live performance. Participants’ videos of themselves playing the part (or parts) of their choice were incorporated into a single performance video.
Reno has been presenting live TubaChristmas concerts since 1989. This year, with the permission of the Harvey Phillips Foundation, founder and administrator of worldwide TubaChristmas events since 1974, David Bugli created a medley of TubaChristmas songs, Christmas Tuba Fantasy, for 2020. This musical arrangement is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Gary Robert Buchanan (1948-2020), who conducted Reno TubaChristmas performances from 2004 to 2019.
Reno TubaChristmas Coordinator Todd DeVito said, “In recent years, Reno TubaChristmas performances featured about 35 musicians, from middle school students to senior citizens, mainly from northern Nevada, in live performances at the Wilbur D. May Museum at Rancho San Rafael Regional Park. This year, the Reno virtual event can be viewed any time, anywhere.”
