DuPage Community Concert Band Tickets

The DuPage Community Concert Band, based in Naperville, Illinois, is a diverse group of musicians from all walks of life who share a passion for music. They perform a wide range of musical styles, including marches, show tunes, and popular songs, but also have a deep appreciation for the classics.

Classical music has been an important part of the DuPage Community Concert Band’s repertoire since its inception in 2009. The band’s founder and director, Dr. Elizabeth Lenz, is a classically trained musician who holds a Ph.D. in music education from the University of Michigan. She believes that classical music provides the foundation for all other styles and that it is essential for any serious musician to study and perform it.

The DuPage Community Concert Band performs a variety of classical pieces, ranging from symphonies by Beethoven and Tchaikovsky to light concert music by composers such as Leroy Anderson. Their performances often include arrangements of well-known classical pieces, such as Mozart’s “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik” or Handel's “Water Music,” which allows the audience to connect with familiar melodies.

In addition to performing classical pieces, the DuPage Community Concert Band also emphasizes the importance of classical music education. They offer master classes and clinics to local school bands and orchestras, encouraging young musicians to pursue classical training and giving them the opportunity to perform alongside more experienced musicians in the band.

Through their dedication to classical music, the DuPage Community Concert Band not only inspires audiences but also supports the future of music by promoting education and training. By integrating classical music into their performances and outreach programs, they help keep the timeless genre relevant and accessible to all.
