Let's Connect @ The Charlottesville Band

Join your Chamber colleagues for networking, refreshments, and live music hosted by The Charlottesville Band. Take a tour of their multipurpose building and see the many ways Cville Band can serve your needs along with the needs of the Greater Community.

We entertain, uplift, and inspire. Since August 17, 1922, the Charlottesville Band has filled the air near and far with symphonic music. Formerly known as The Municipal Band of Charlottesville, we are one of the oldest continuously operating volunteer community bands in the United States, bringing talented community members together through a love of music.

The 85-member Band and its seven small group ensembles give upwards of 50 performances each year, from small ensemble presentations in retirement homes to pop-up concerts in public parks to standing-room-only shows at the Paramount Theater. Together, we volunteer over 14,000 hours per year to make excellent music for our community.

Our concerts are free and open to everyone, and they always will be. The Band also owns and operates the Charlottesville Band Building, providing rental space at below-market rates to community organizations and businesses in need of facilities for meetings, recitals, and events.
