The Charlottesville Municipal Band will be headlining Fridays After Five, tonight on August 23 at 5:30 with a Salute To Swing.
One of the nation’s oldest, continuously operating, volunteer community bands, Charlottesville Municipal Band has been the soundtrack of the community since 1922. The band serves Charlottesville/Albemarle and the surrounding counties, providing community enrichment through free quality musical performances and educational outreach, year-round. Providing music for entertainment, education, and community-building, the Band reaches a broad spectrum of audience members, from toddlers to seniors, from new arrivals to lifelong residents. The Band aims to offer equal access to all the community and takes its music to the people – in parks, libraries, community centers, schools, and historic venues like the Paramount Theater and Monticello. The band’s repertoire covers the complete musical spectrum. The performance, at Fridays After five, will feature some of Charlottesville’s most popular vocal and instrumental soloists.
The cost? It’s free, of course. Always is.
Come out and enjoy the last days of the summer with especially good music.
