Halifax Concert Band

With rehearsals and concerts on hold due to COVID-19, some groups have found a way to keep making music while staying safe. Hopefully the musicians of the Halifax Concert Band will be back to entertain you before too long. Until then, enjoy this virtual gem from the famous Cory Band!

MARCH 15th ST PATRICK’S Concert & Sing Along CANCELLED Over the past few days, there have been many developments with the spread of COVID-19. We have received some inquiries from the membership about our Irish concert schedule for this Sunday. Earlier this evening, the HCB Society Directors, in consultation with the Saint Patricks Restoration Society, made the difficult decision to cancel the concert

Come out and get your jingle on!

For those who couldn’t join us on the Halifax waterfront yesterday, here’s a taste of what you missed at our concert in support of the Canadian Naval Memorial Trust (HMCS Sackville). Fortunately, the weather mostly cooperated, and the strong sea breeze didn’t stop us from performing. Here is A Tribute to Rodgers and Hammerstein (I Whistle A Happy Tune, Some Enchanted Evening, The Surrey With The Fringe On Top, My Favorite Things, and Oklahoma).

Yesterday, September 17, 2019 (following a "Dorian delay"), the Halifax Concert Band's 47th season finally got underway! We were pleased to welcome back many returning players, but we were equally excited to see some new members as well. We hope all our fans will join us at our many concerts throughout the coming year (look for details to be posted here soon). In the meantime, here is something to tide you over, a stunning display of teenage trumpet virtuosity, recorded as a tribute to Maria Callas, who died 42 years ago yesterday. Enjoy!

The Halifax Concert Band’s 2019-2020 season will begin with a rehearsal Tuesday, September 17, 2019 at 6:30 pm at The Bella Rose Arts Centre. Look for information on our upcoming concerts to be posted here soon.

One night only! Tonight’s the night!

The Notables Show Band boasts an all HCB trumpet section, and HCB’s own Perla Canales-Deichler will be featured as one of two great vocalists treating the audience to a host of jazzy and popular tunes. Don’t miss it!
