Help Sustain Our Musical Legacy

The Charlotte Concert Band is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Every dollar you give goes directly toward keeping live music accessible to the Charlotte community — free from commercial pressure and rooted in a love of the art.

What most audiences don't realize

Every time you enjoy one of our concerts, a great deal of hard work and real expense has gone into creating that experience. Rehearsal space, performance venues, sheet music — all quite expensive. Your support ensures that we can continue doing this at the highest level.

OUR LEGACY

Six decades and still going strong

Since 1966, the Charlotte Concert Band has performed for hundreds of thousands of people across the Charlotte region — from concert halls and churches to senior care homes and civic events. Hundreds of musicians have contributed to our sound over six decades.
​
That kind of longevity doesn't happen by accident. It happens because of people like you — audience members, supporters, and music lovers who believe that live music matters in their community. Your donation is what keeps this story going.
