Chelmsford Community CONCERT Band
Founded in 1972 (51 years ago!!), the Chelmsford Community Concert Band (CCB) is a nonprofit, volunteer band comprised of 60 woodwind, brass, and percussion instrumentalists from all walks of life, including professional musicians, educators, engineers, and small business owners. Members come from the Chelmsford, Massachusetts area, as well as from other towns around Massachusetts and New Hampshire, rehearsing Tuesdays from September through June at the Chelmsford Center for the Arts.
The CCB provides its members with the opportunity to share their passion for music with the community through a variety of concerts throughout the year. Our concerts range from formal performances to outdoor concerts and allow us to bring a variety of music to our audiences including traditional marches, contemporary pieces, show tunes, and holiday music. Our free summer performances on the Chelmsford Common are a fun way to expose the whole family to live music.
Chelmsford Community Jazz Ensemble
The Chelmsford Community Jazz Band (CCJB) was formed in 1998 to give concert band members with a love for playing big band music an outlet for that passion. The ensemble performs several times a year — at the annual winter concert, the pops concert and the summer concerts on the common. The ensemble’s wide repertoire consists of big band standards and popular selections from noted jazz artists that appeal to audiences of all ages. Members come from the Chelmsford, Massachusetts area, as well as from other towns around Massachusetts and New Hampshire, rehearsing Wednesdays from September through June at the Chelmsford Center for the Arts.
The jazz ensemble’s 19 members are a dedicated group who have a great time playing their instruments and thrilling audiences as they listen to the large sound of the jazz band.
