ABOUT THE CCB
Who We Are
The Charlotte Concert Band is a vibrant volunteer community band of instrumental musicians based in Charlotte, North Carolina — bringing people together through the joy of live music since 1966.
OUR COMMUNITY
A musical tradition for over 60 years
The Charlotte Concert Band (CCB) is a vibrant, volunteer community band of instrumental musicians in Charlotte, North Carolina. Our vision is to be Charlotte’s leading community instrumental ensemble, enriching the city’s culture and providing creative outlets for musicians from all walks of life.
We are a non-profit 501c3 organization and all of our funding comes primarily from donations and ticket sales. As a community band, our goal is to serve all parts of the community, so we keep tickets at a reasonable cost.
Since the band's formation in 1966, CCB members have developed friendships that last a lifetime. Some of our members have played together for more than 40 years and others moved to the greater Charlotte region just recently.
Our band personnel includes musicians from across the greater Charlotte region. Our vocations span the spectrum. We are active music educators, retired college professors, health care professionals, nuclear engineers, marketing executives and more. Regardless of our background, each week we are delighted come together and make music that we can share with our community.

OUTREACH PROGRAMS
Musicians for a lifetime
|
The Charlotte Concert Band's Musician for a Lifetime Program is an annual tradition that bridges the gap between school-age musicians and the professional community band experience.
Each spring, we invite top middle school musicians from North Carolina's South Central District All-District Band to join us on stage for our spring concert — performing alongside the Charlotte Concert Band in front of a live Charlotte audience. For many of these young musicians, sharing the stage with experienced adult performers is a defining moment. It reinforces that music is not just a school activity — it is a lifelong pursuit worth carrying into adulthood. The program directly reflects CCB's core mission: fostering lifelong participation in music through quality performance opportunities. By welcoming student musicians onto our stage, we invest in the next generation of community musicians and music lovers across the Charlotte region. |
