This summer, the Chelmsford Community Band continues its decades-long tradition of providing live musical performances on Chelmsford Town Common. Bring your folding chairs and your blankets and set yourself up on the grass as the summer heat switches over to the cool of evening, the stars come out, and local volunteer musicians share with the community their love of music.
The Concert Band, under the direction of Eric Linsner, will kick off the season with its traditional capstone on the Independence Day Festival on Friday, July 3, just after 7pm. This performance is sponsored by a generous grant from Rockland Trust.
After the kickoff, the band’s 7pm Tuesday series starts on July 14 with the Jazz Ensemble, directed by Art Bakopolus, and they will also perform on July 28 and August 11. On the alternating Tuesdays, you will be able to hear the Concert Band performing on July 21, August 4, and August 18. This summer series has been made possible with a grant from the Chelmsford Cultural Council.
The Chelmsford Community Band is a 501(c)3 nonprofit and has a 75-piece concert band and a 20-piece jazz ensemble made of dedicated volunteer musicians with a proud tradition of bringing live musical performances to this community since 1972. They depend on grants from local businesses, arts organizations such as the Chelmsford Cultural Council, and your donations. Follow them on Facebook, Instagram, or BlueSky, and find them online at
