Wartubium to present its fourth annual Octubafest on Oct. 28
October 23, 2018
The concert begins at 7 p.m. in Sandra Rada Orchestra Hall in the Bachman Fine Arts Center. The ensemble, under the direction of Richard Scheffel, will play pieces representing all that is October, Halloween, Homecoming and Oktoberfest. Several tuba and euphonium performers will be featured in solos and ensembles.
“Wartubium is something that isn’t normal, and sometimes we need something different to add excitement to our lives,” said Danica Duellman, a senior from Dodge, Wis. “Wartubium has done that for me, and I’ve enjoyed every bit of it. It is just something that a person has to experience in order to understand.”
The ensemble invites audience members to bring their own tubas or euphoniums and join Wartubium on the finale pieces. Refreshments will be available following the performance.
