It’s a Winter Celebration!

It’s cold outside but the music is hot!

The Cochrane Music Society ensembles are having a wonderful time rehearsing our exciting new music to be ready to share with our music loving friends at our Winter Celebration concert.

Cochrane Music Society has been bringing joy through music to the Cochrane community and surrounding area for over 20 years. Our three ensembles – Band on the Bow, Riverside Jazz, and Choral Waves – have been performing for our friends and neighbours at many local events, including Canada Day parades, Cochrane Culture Day celebrations, Christmas events and many more!

We have lots of new members who have joined our stalwarts and we are having so much fun!  Join us Sunday, December 11 at 7pm at the Bow Valley Baptist Church as we celebrate community, music and camaraderie.

We maintained social distancing during the pandemic with summertime parking lot rehearsals and concerts. Now we are back to our regular program and can’t wait to share our music with you!

Band on the Bow has chosen music with themes of inspiration, renewal, and celebration that have excited us as we emerge from the pandemic.

The overarching message of Choral Waves music is peace and wholeness of spirit, performed in a variety of languages including Hebrew, Romanian, Swahili, Zambian, and English.

Every Riverside Jazz performance is a little bit of a history lesson. Our jazzers are playing music by great writers from Count Basie to Phil Collins!

Come out to enjoy an evening of great music and support Cochrane Music Society.
