The Finger Lakes Community Band is a diverse volunteer organization, comprised of area residents. This community-based ensemble embraces a range of age and ability levels and always welcomes new members. Our mission is to provide high-quality entertainment, education, and enrichment of audiences in the Finger Lakes region. We rehearse once per week throughout the school year, performing four formal concerts, and several outdoor concerts during the summer.

The Finger Lakes Community Band (formerly known as the Finger Lakes Concert Band) formed originally in 1984 through Finer Lakes Community College as a music course for college students and an ensemble open to community musicians. In 2005 sponsorship of the band was assumed by the Hochstein School of Music. After two silent years due to the pandemic, in 2022 the group reorganized as an independent, non-profit organization, under the name Finger Lakes Community Band.

Today, we are very proud to have the generous support of the Fort Hill Performing Arts Center, community businesses, the Rotary Club, our conductor (Greg Kane), and band members.
