![]() (PRESS RELEASE)_The Symphonic Band of the Palm Beaches is excited to announce its 61st season -- a series of 10 concerts that showcase the extraordinary talent and musical maturity of one of the nation’s finest symphonic bands. Considered a local cultural treasure, the ensemble has won accolades for its outstanding performances of a wide variety of music, from classical and jazz to marches and Broadway hits. “Our season opener, Together Again!, will showcase crowd favorites from John Williams, R. Strauss, J. Strauss, Cole Porter, and John Philip Sousa, plus a special guest appearance,” said Music Director Mark Humphreys. The band prides itself on helping to build a culturally enlightened and stronger community by providing high-quality, enjoyable yet modestly priced performances. In addition to an exceptional caliber of musicianship, the band has a strong philanthropic mission. The nonprofit group has donated $89,487 in scholarships, grants, and musical instruments to local students and schools since February 2020, even though the band was not able to provide public performances during this time, for a grand total of $875,265 donated during the past 40 years. 2021-2022 Concerts Together Again!
