Encore Symphonic Concert Band in Toronto
963 Pharmacy Ave M1R 2G5 Toronto, ON, Canada

Hello All, As you may have guessed, Wilmar Heights Centre will be closing its door temporary to reduce the risk of spread of VOID-19. That means Encore Band would have to cancel the April 2nd Monthly Concert and other concerts until further notice... Let's keep safe and stay home. Keep safe and healthy!

What a Concert on Feb 28, 2020! Thank you Richard Herriott and Encore Band members. https://youtu.be/Wy3wftTpr98

Words from Richard Herriott: "I'm so moved by this occasion. We have begun our work on Rhapsody in Blue, and Slaughterhouse on 10th Avenue, and these Musicians are so much fun to play with, and work with. I'm deeply humbled by the generosity of Spirit here, as well as profoundly honoured by the invitation to play. This is a really marvelous Concert Band, with such a rich, and full sound.... At our 1st rehearsal, it was absolutely and abundantly clear that we all enjoy each other's Company in making Music together. I'm so honoured that they have asked me to play with them, and in a work that is so sacred to me. In this Concert, I will also play Liszt's 2nd Legend, " St. Francois de Paule Marchant sur les Flots", affectionately known as " Frankie goes Surfing". The Band have an array of Fantastic Music including music from the" Harry Potter" Films, from the pen of John Williams. Stuff like this is making a huge, and powerful, and positive impact upon my personal rehabilitation. Amen."
