As a part of a special "Three Amigos Tuba Celebration Festival" honoring the lives and careers of three tuba legends, the University of South Alabama is proud to host Concert No. 2 of the event - "Studio Self, Tuba Celebration Recital." Join tubists from across the country and around the world as we honor the great performer and tuba pedagogue Jim Self on Friday, May 22 at 6:30 p.m. in the USA Laidlaw Performing Arts Center. Admission is free to the public.

The entire Celebration will be a time to share our love and admiration for three giants of the tuba-euphonium community that have influenced thousands of students over the past half-century. Former students, colleagues, and friends will honor these "Three Amigos" in several concert events May 21-24, including this concert for Jim Self, and additional performances for Daniel Perantoni and R. Winston Morris.
