Upcoming Concerts

“How Sweet the Sound” is the title for the Penticton Concert Band’s Winter Concert this year, a commemorative title for we are dedicating a piece titled How Sweet the Sound to a long-time member of the band who has recently passed: Marylin Barnay. Marylin played the flute, but then decided to take up tuba, as her son had played that in highschool band and well, why not!? Marylin loved all things musical and so do we all and that’s why we gather to play together.

“Con Brio: With Brilliance, With Spirit” is the Penticton Concert Band’s theme at the Tues. April 12, 2022 Spring Concert. We are sparkling with energy and joy to play for you again after a covid-induced long hiatus from performing. The concert begins with a lively march titled “Con Brio” which means with brilliance, with spirit. It is appropriate to the way all the musicians in the band are feeling after having spent almost two years alone with their instruments rehearsing in private music rooms, some rehearsing and playing together in small, covid-friendly groups 6 feet apart. The band is glad to be back together as a whole and the arrival of spring brings out the best in each of us; the music notes dancing like blossoms in the April breeze. The concert promises to take you around the world on a music adventure, so please bring your family and best friends and come celebrate this spring concert with us.

“Programmatic Narratives” is the Penticton Concert Band’s theme at the December 17 Concert. The program features music pieces that narrate stories, inviting the imagination to ‘see’ what the music is saying. From 3,2,1…(take off!), to the hissing sounds of clockwork and steam machines, to Sinbad the sailor and a dream coming true at a wishing well, the program’s pieces are delightful for the musicians to play and for the audience to listen to. Of course there will also be some of your favourite Christmas medleys. Bring your friends and the whole family and come be enchanted!
