Summer Celebration Concert at CSCC

The South Windsor Community Band will present an energetic and uplifting “Summer Celebration” concert on Wednesday, June 11, 2025 at 6:30 p.m. at the SBM Charitable Foundation, Inc. Auditorium in the Art, Science and Technology building at the Connecticut State Community College, Manchester, CT.  The concert is free, and free-will offerings will be accepted.  After the concert, the celebration will continue with a reception where the audience can meet and mingle with the band.

The program will feature high-energy favorites from the Big Band era, and more contemporary jazz tunes made famous by trumpeter Maynard Ferguson.  From Hollywood, the band will offer the epic themes from Jurassic Park and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Also on the program are works by Julie Giroux and Florence Price.

The band will be led by music director Dr. Deborah Simmons, and esteemed guest conductors from the band will share the stage for selected works.

Free-will offerings are appreciated but not expected.  Proceeds will go to the band and the music program at Manchester Community College.

The South Windsor Community Band is a concert band that got its start in 1995 with just 15 adult musicians who may not have played their instruments since high school.  Today the band is more than 50 musicians strong and draws from talents of amateur and professional musicians and educators.  The SWCB performs numerous concerts in South Windsor and the surrounding areas throughout the year.
