It's Been an Incredible Season...

From stunning performances of Rhapsody in Blue to engaging future musicians with Bandemonium to celebrating 40 years at Fruitlands. Thanks for joining us on our musical journey!

In recent years, we’ve taken big steps to expand and elevate our programming—from the energetic Bandemonium concert, to live streaming our 51 Walden performances, purchasing and performing new works, to welcoming guest soloists, and performing newly-commissioned works. These efforts have enriched our concerts, grown our audience, and kept The Concord Band at the forefront of community music-making.

But none of this happens without you.

The Band’s ticket revenue and donations at our concerts pay for only 25% of our annual expenses. Donations from band members, patrons and friends are the backbone of our organization’s success and continued viability.

Now that we are in our final month of the fiscal year, we ask that you consider making a contribution by August 31st. Every dollar makes a difference, and every donor strengthens our future. Checks to the Concord Band Association can be mailed to PO Box 302 Concord MA 01742, or donations can be made via Paypal through the Band’s website.
