Hello, we're the Bournemouth and District Concert Band
We’re a friendly, dynamic and sociable concert band which performs across Dorset including Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole and beyond. We’re one of the largest concert bands in Dorset with around 75 musicians of all ages, playing brass, woodwind and percussion instruments. We play a variety of music to a high standard and offer a supportive environment for musicians; and we contribute to our local community where we can.

We perform concerts all around Dorset and further afield. See where we’re playing next and get the dates in your diary so you can join us.
