A Message from Our Music Director

Since 1986, the Sidney Concert Band has been bringing music to the Saanich Peninsula. I am filled with pride to be part of such a wonderful organization! Our members work very hard to present quality music in the most professional and entertaining way possible. And during that journey, I see them grow in so many ways… musically, intellectually and creatively.

I am very excited about the 2022-23 season as we have lots of great music waiting for you. From our Salute to Veterans concert on November 6 with stirring tunes honoring our vets and memorable music from the big band era, to the May 28 event featuring the music of John Williams and Hans Zimmer. And of course, you will see us at the Sidney Sparkles Parade,  the annual Christmas Concert on December 12th, Island Bandfest, the June Sidney bandshell concert and Canada Day Parade.

We look forward to performing for you very soon because we know that Sidney audiences are the BEST on the Island. Your support and patronage is so very much appreciated. Let’s all work together to keep live music vibrant and plentiful on the peninsula!
