Founded in 1983, the Greater Harrisburg Concert Band brings together the region’s top musicians to create a high-caliber, versatile performing ensemble. The band originated from the merger of several longstanding groups, including the Moose Band and the American Legion Band—both of which enriched the Harrisburg area with live music for decades.
Today, the band is a dynamic 50-member ensemble made up of professional musicians, music educators, and skilled instrumentalists. It also welcomes accomplished high school and college musicians, providing them with an opportunity to perform at a professional level.
The Greater Harrisburg Concert Band exists to:
Deliver exceptional live music to the community
Enrich the region’s cultural landscape through performance and education
Honor the tradition of American concert bands
Provide a professional platform for wind and percussion musicians
Inspire and mentor the next generation of talented performers
Through its dedication to musical excellence, the band continues to be a cornerstone of the Harrisburg arts scene.
