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.
