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.
