American Band's 180th Celebration!
Donation protected
In November of 2017, The American Band of Providence, Rhode Island will be marking our 180th Anniversary with a special concert celebrating our Heritage and the premier of a newly commissioned work. Contributions from you, our audience, will greatly help make our celebration one of a kind. Thank you for your continued support of The American Band of Providence. We hope to bring great band music to your community for years to come!
The American Band, founded in 1837, is one of America’s oldest civilian concert bands. For 141 years the American Band served as one of the finest concert bands in the nation. In 1978 the Band underwent a complete reorganization under a new music director, Dr. Francis M. Marciniak, Director of Bands at Rhode Island College. Since 1978 the Band has been performing between 15 to 20 concerts each year around Rhode Island and southern New England, continuing the proud tradition begun in 1837. Since the death of Dr. Marciniak in May of 1996 the band was under the baton of Dr. Gene Pollart of the University of Rhode Island until his retirement in April of 2013. Currently the Band is under the leadership of Dr. Brian Cardany of the University of Rhode Island.
