Northshore Concert Band is committed to enriching the lives of music students and residents of the Chicago metropolitan area with high-quality education and outreach initiatives.
Lifetime of Music Initiative
The Lifetime of Music Initiative is an annual event where local student musicians are invited to join Northshore Concert Band on stage at Pick-Staiger Concert Hall for a portion of our winter concert. This program provides a rewarding musical experience to young musicians: granting access to unique performance opportunities outside of the classroom, introducing students to outstanding wind band repertoire, and exposing participants to the performance opportunities that await them beyond high school, regardless of if they choose to pursue music as a career. For more information about the Lifetime of Music Initiative or to be included in our call for nominations, contact us using the button below.
Festival of Music
From 1977 to 2019, Northshore Concert Band presented an annual Festival of Music. This event offered countless K-12 music students a unique musical experience by combining developmental performance opportunities with demonstration performances by NCB musicians.
Outreach & Community Concerts
Northshore Concert Band performs several free concerts each season at local schools, retirement villages, nursing homes, and community band shells. For information on hosting Northshore Concert Band at your upcoming event, please complete a Contact Us inquiry.
