Joint Rehearsal with the Toronto Concert Band and the Norwegian Travelling Band @ Temerty Theatre, Royal Conservatory of Music
Oct 6 @ 7:30 pm – 9:15 pm

Join the Toronto Concert Band and our special guests, the Norwegian Travelling Band, as we meet and rehearse together for the first time, in this special event presented by the Royal Conservatory of Music.

This is an informal event with limited space available. Drop in, hear us rehearse, and socialize with the members of both ensembles.

To hear us, head over to the Temerty Theatre at the Royal Conservatory of Music, 273 Bloor St. W. in Toronto. Enter through the glass doors and head up to the second floor.  Our bands meet for the first time just a little earlier in the evening, and we’ll be playing music from our own repertoire for one another, rehearsing some music jointly, and generally having a good time.  We hope that you enjoy the night of behind-the-scenes music preparation!

The TCB will perform most of the music you’ll hear on Saturday at our fall concert, November 24th at Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto.
