September 24 @ 2:30 pm - 4:30 pm
The Concord-based Freese Brothers Big Band is in its 42nd year of keeping the sounds of swing and classic Big Band music alive — entertaining concert and dance audiences throughout the region and raising scholarship funds for a new generation of talented musicians.
The band is inspired by the musical enthusiasm and community spirit of its founders, Jack, Bill, George and Courtland Freese. Members volunteer their time and talent and donate band performance fees to the Freese Brothers Big Band Memorial Scholarship Fund, which has awarded nearly $80,000 in scholarships to student musicians.
The band offers a lively program that incorporates the classic sounds of Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Frank Sinatra, the Dorsey Brothers and Glenn Miller, with contemporary tunes specially arranged for Big Band performances.
