The Markham Concert Band was formed in 1978, and with over 80 members, we are one of the largest community bands in Canada! Band members include young and old from many fields of endeavour, all brought together with one purpose in mind – to serve the community with the best in concert band music.
The Band is celebrating its 50th Anniversary with a special banquet on Sunday, December 13, 2026 at the Crystal Fountain Event Venue, 60 McDowell Gate in Markham. Tickets are $95 each.
This event will recognize the many musicians, families, volunteers and supporters who have helped make the Band an important part of our community for five decades. As part of the celebration, we will be holding a Silent Auction to help fund our 2027 trip to Germany including Nördlingen, Germany—Markham’s Sister City. The Band has been invited to participate in a special joint concert with the Knabenkapelle Nördlingen. This is an exciting opportunity for our musicians to represent Markham and share Canadian music internationally. Band members are responsible for their own travel expenses, so our goal is to raise funds to reduce the cost of the trip and make it possible for more members to participate.
To help us continue delivering this great music, we would greatly appreciate your financial support of the band – details on our Donations page.
We perform our 4-concert series in the beautiful Flato Markham Theatre, and we can also be seen at many Markham and York Region festivals and events during the summer and fall, including the Markham Village Music Festival, Unionville Festival, and the Markham Fair.
Want us to play at your event? For more information on booking the entire Band or a smaller ensemble, feel free to contact us.
Thank you for your interest in the Markham Concert Band, and we look forward to seeing you at a concert soon!
