Welcome to the Rogue Valley Symphonic Band, where passion meets excellence! It's Music to 'Your' ears! ✻
The Rogue Valley Symphonic Band is a select group of some of the best musicians from the Rogue River Valley area of Southern Oregon and Northern California. It is an all-volunteer community band striving to present excellent performances of some of the finest literature for concert band/wind ensembles available.
Concerts are often scheduled at area schools, usually in conjunction with the school's band(s) to demonstrate to the students that there is indeed musical "life" after high school/college. Visit often to keep current with our concert schedule.
MISSION STATEMENT
The Rogue Valley Symphonic Band is a 501(c)3 organization that enriches the Rogue Valley’s community through public performances of diverse wind band literature. Further, to encourage a lifelong love of the arts, the ensemble provides educational opportunities for music students of all ages while also ensuring that its members receive an enjoyable, yet artistically demanding musical experience.
Our Vision is to foster the love of music, improve our musicianship, grow our band diversity, and enlighten, entertain, and inspire our audiences while remaining financially stable.
To continue realizing our vision we welcome donations of any size. For more information on this, please click here or click the "donate" button in the toolbar at the top of the page.
