Market Square is quiet now. But soon, very soon, the big, deep sound of Tuba Christmas will reverberate once more.
Children will scramble on the statue of the massive polar bear and volunteers will move through the crowd, collecting donations for the Times Colonist Christmas Fund. This year’s Times Colonist Christmas Fund campaign has received $378,804 in donations from 1,430 donors from its Nov. 12 launch to Dec. 7. The fundraising goal is $1 million.
Victoria’s Tuba Christmas was founded 42 years ago by Eugene Dowling, a tuba player with the symphony who taught at UVic for more than 30 years. In 2014, in declining health, Dowling passed his baton and music book to Beauchesne, his former music student. The performance will include Christmas favourites like Jingle Bells, We Three Kings and God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.
