Master The Music: The Bloomfield Youth Band

First in the Adult School of Montclair family-friendly "Master The Music" outdoor concert series. If you have not heard the Bloomfield Youth Band before, you are missing a local gem!  Composed of secondary and collegiate students, this outstanding band will perform the music of Sam R. Hazo (musical arranger for Lucinda Williams). Founder and director, Patrick Burns, who founded this band at age 17, will discuss the history of band music in the US, a symphonic band versus an orchestra and the instruments themselves and how composers use them to highlight themes in the music. Outdoor concert at the beautiful Van Vleck Gardens in Montclair. Pack a picnic supper. $10 suggested donation per adult, children free. More information or call 973-746-6636.
