Spirited performances and thrilling sound characterize the Etobicoke Community Concert Band, now into its second decade of music-making. An annual four-part subscription series showcases a fantastic range of musical genres, innovative program themes and outstanding Canadian guest artists. This season opens with “Rhine Devine”, an eclectic sampling of German-inspired works and lively Oktoberfest classics and featuring famed guest accordionist Joe Macerollo. “Christmas Pops” will serve up some of the greatest hits of the festive season, accompanied by the sweet and swingy voices of the Etobicoke Youth Choir. “Classic Celtic” promises energizing entertainment rooted in the Celtic tradition and performed by sizzling strings and concert band. Then “let the games begin” as “Olympic Fanfare” toasts the upcoming Summer Games in China with magnificent music and special guests. And there’s more! The Etobicoke Community Concert Band also produces an informal series of open-air concerts every summer, lends great music to charitable events and community causes, and provides numerous intimate performances through its smaller ensembles such as the brass quintet, flute choir and acclaimed Etobicoke Swing Orchestra.
