The
Buttonwood Park Zoo hosted the first New Bedford
performance of Merry TubaChristmas as local tuba and
euphonium players of all ages performed Christmas tunes
under the direction of special guest conductor Dr. David
MacKenzie, music director of the New Bedford Symphony
Orchestra. Standing by were the zoo’s resident
elephants, but there was no need for extra trumpeting.
William Kingsland, director of music for Dartmouth’s
school system (pictured here) was among the many local
musicians performing.
