Message from the Conductor!

The Stratford Concert Band has made the difficult decision to officially cancel our Wednesday evening summer concert series for 2020. The musicians had hoped to be performing by the end of the summer, but this is no longer a possibility. The safety of the members and our audience is our priority.

The Stratford Concert Band has been presenting summer concerts in and around Upper Queen’s Park for more than 50 years. This is the first time in the band's history the series has been cancelled. We miss playing for you every Wednesday.

We continue to plan and are looking forward to getting together to make music and play for you once this is all over. Thank you for continuing to support live music, and check our website for updates.

Thank you for your continued support, and we hope to see you soon
