The Saint Charles Municipal Band will open its 135th season Sunday, April 3, with its Annual Spring Concert at 2 p.m. at the Lindenwood University Cultural Center, Kingshighway and Adams Street in St. Charles.
“The Municipal Band has been a part of St. Charles for 134 years, and is looking forward to this special anniversary season of music,” said Nancy Garza, the band’s musical director. The Saint Charles Municipal Band traces its roots back to a performance on July 4, 1870, by the Union Volunteer Fire Company of St. Charles.
Musical selections will include Hallelujah Trombone by Henry Fillmore, Big Cage Galop by Karl King, selections from H.M.S. Pinafore, Pirates of Penzance and the Kikado by Gilbert and Sullivan.
Admission to the concert is free. Following a reception immediately after the Municipal Band’s concert, the St. Charles Community Big Band, directed by Earl Kreder, will perform.
