History
Cochrane Music Society was formed in 1999 with just Band on the Bow concert Band. Many of the members were keen to learn jazz as well and so Riverside Jazz was formed the next year. In 2007 we were excited to expand with the addition of the Choral Waves choir. Read more about our history here.
