The Milford Concert Band has announced its “Summer 2019 Coastal Series” concerts for its 27th year as the official band of the City of Milford.
The season begins with a performance at the Memorial Day pre-parade ceremonies at the Milford Green by the gazebo on Sunday, May 26 at 1:30 p.m.
The annual “Harbor Lights/Summer Nights” show begins the summer concert series at the Rotary Pavilion at Fowler Field on Friday, June 21 in conjunction with the Milford Chamber of Commerce.
This year’s feature piece is the Giuseppe Verdi symphonic band arrangement of selections from the grand opera “Aida.” The band will also perform a variety of pop, jazz, Broadway, patriotic and family favorites with the Milford Harbor as a background.
New players of all ages and abilities are invited to rehearse and play with the MCB, including local middle and high school students. Rehearsals are Monday evenings at 7:30 p.m. at the Fowler Memorial Building next to the Milford Public Library.
Every Monday evening in late June and August the MCB will play concerts at beaches throughout Milford. The full schedule and more information is available at www.milfordconcertband.org.
