Hiatus

Dear fans and friends of The Concord Band,

For the safety of our audiences, our musicians, and our community, the Concord Band has suspended rehearsals and postponed our April Pops Concerts (originally scheduled for April 3 and 4). When guidance from local authorities indicates it is safe to do so, we will evaluate whether it is possible to reschedule the Pops concerts later this season. At this point, the summer season, including the Picnic in the Park on Independence day and our summer Fruitlands concert series have also been canceled.

The situation remains very fluid, so please check our website, blog, or Facebook page for updates. We are actively exploring ways to continue to make music through online collaboration.

If you are missing the concert experience, we invite you to watch a video of some of your Concord Band favorites on YouTube.

The Concord Band is a non-profit organization that does rely on concert income to fund some of its operational costs. If you would like to support us through this difficult time, we would gratefully accept any donations through PayPal or by mail to PO Box 302, Concord, MA 01754.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. We look forward to the future when we can safely share music together again.

In the meantime, we wish everyone the best in this difficult time, and hope all of you stay healthy.

— The Concord Band

In Memoriam

The Concord Band mourns the death of its principal flutist, Barbara Weiblin, who succumbed to cancer on May 15, 2020. Barbara joined the Concord Band in 1985. In 2014, she played the solo in Flight of the Bumble Bee with the Band, and together with her husband Bill, organized refreshments for receptions at many of the Band's fall & winter concerts. In addition to being in the Concord Band, Barbara led a flute choir at St John's Lutheran Church in Sudbury and played for several years in the Nashoba Symphonic Band in Bolton.

Looking for Substitute Players

The Concord Band is looking for musicians who would be willing to be on our “call list” to fill in for absences in rehearsals or performances. If you'd like to play with us or know someone who might, please get in touch with either Jim O’Dell, CBA Director or Dave Tweed, CBA Personnel or leave a message on the band’s answering machine at 978-897-9969. We'll need your contact information, the instrument(s) you play, and a brief synopsis of your background.
