Nanaimo Concert Band - performs a very "Special Fall Concert"one we believe you don't want to miss.
=0D=0A=This particular concert will be featuring several special moments that you will want to be in attendance for.
=0D=0A=The biggest one is that our Music director, Mr. Gerry Klaassen, will conduct his last concert at the Port Theatre, after 22 years on the NCB podium! Gerry is retiring from the band and he and his wife are moving to Victoria to be with family. This won't be the very last time up with the band as he will be directing our Christmas Concert on December 9th. But this concert is going to be a "Wow, I am sure glad I came ! " performance.
=0D=0A=With this Special Fall Concert Gerry Klaassen has put together one of his best ever entertaining programs ! Gerry is going out with a bang. Literally, with the 1812 Overture ! Of course there will be light hearted and fun music like a Frank Sinatra medley.
=0D=0A=Another special moment at the concert will be two of the Nanaimo's finest Bagpipers joining the band in some traditional Scottish music.
=0D=0A=There will some other surprises as well but we would hate to give everything away, what is the fun in that ?…..so you will just have to come out and see what will happen.
=0D=0A=We hope you will join us for this memorable concert.
=0D=0A=It's a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon in the comfort of the Port Theatre listening to one of the best musical groups Nanaimo has to offer.
=0D=0A=This national award-winning band performs a wide-ranging musical repertoire including classical, big band, marches, show tunes and more! It is the oldest continuously performing concert band in Canada, celebrating over 140 years of making great music.
=0D=0A=If you have not yet attended a Nanaimo Concert Band Concert, come and find out why it usually sells out! Treat yourself and a friend to a Sunday matinee, appealing to all ages.
