About Northumberland New Ventures Band

Our Season

September to June — no rehearsals or performances in July or August.

Our Bands

Our Intro Class welcomes anyone interested in learning to play an instrument, whether they have played before or have had no previous experience. We are always looking for new players to join us from the beginning of every Fall.

Our Primo Band is for those who have a basic level of playing skill but are not yet ready to progress to the Mezzo Band.

Mezzo and Avanti Bands complete the trio of our main bands and offer opportunities for Intro Band members to progress once they are comfortable doing so.

Our Big Band focuses on the swing/jazz genres and offers opportunities for more accomplished players to solo with that group.

Rehearsal Schedule

Our songs range from classic to pop, jazz, swing, blues, and other genres as driven by the interests and abilities of our band members.

Our Membership

Adults who wish to learn to play a musical instrument in a fun, no-pressure, social group setting. Many of our members have had no musical experience, while others may have played many years ago in high school.

Join Us

Our Open House is held annually in September, soon after Labour Day, to provide information and invite potential new members to join us. If you have ever thought of learning to play a musical instrument, be it woodwind, brass, electric bass, percussion and more, please contact us, or plan to attend our Open House in September. Watch for information on this website for the date and time.
