Now that’s a big band: Muskoka Concert Band has a special evening planned

The Muskoka Concert Band (MCB), with director Neil Barlow, will be hosting some very special guests in a joint concert on May 13.

The Metropolitan Silver Band will share the stage with the MCB on May 13 at 7:00 pm at the Active Living Centre in Huntsville. Each band will play a portion of the concert, then they will combine forces in a powerful 70-piece group to play several exciting selections written for brass and concert bands.

The audience will be treated to music by the likes of Cable, Curnow, Sparke, Gershwin and more.

The Metropolitan Silver Band, founded in 1931, is based at the Metropolitan United Church in downtown Toronto. Director Fran Harvey and this group of 30 musicians, all brass and percussion players, perform about 20 times in a year. Their venues include concert halls, churches, and other public facilities in the Greater Toronto Area, and beyond.

Tickets cost $15 each and are only available at the door.

What a perfect way to celebrate the Mother’s Day weekend!
