On this week’s Out and About, Dr. Mae Gilliland of ArtsPartners of Central Illinois chats about Peoria's first "Tuba Christmas" concert with event organizer Dan Dietrich.
He shares the inspiration behind this festive gathering, which dates back to a tradition that began in 1974 at Rockefeller Center in New York City. Dietrich hopes this inaugural Peoria event will attract over 50 musicians and a large audience, encouraging participants of all ages and skill levels to dress festively and join the performance. The concert will take place on Dec. 22 at 3:30 p.m. at Redeemer Lutheran Church and is free for the public to attend.
Donations to support Redeemer Lutheran Church as thanks for allowing usage of their church for the event will be taken. Contact Dan Dietrich with questions.
