L plates

It’s the start of a brand new year and we are very pleased to announce that in 2016 the Lismore City Concert Band will be running a new weekly session especially for new players (and current players who want to improve their band skills).

The new Band Skills Development session will  be held before the regular LCCB rehearsals on Mondays throughout school term. All sessions are held in the upstairs Concert Space at the Northern Rivers Conservatorium (NRC).

Please note: Regular LCCB rehearsals will start half an hour later than previously to allow for the new session.

Monday Rehearsal times:

Session 1    4:45 -5:45  (Band Skills Development)
Session 2    6:00 – 7:30 (Regular LCCB Rehearsal)

For more information please contact Band Master, Ben Van Kleef (Contact Us)

Band plays Lismore Australia Day

At this year’s Lismore Australia Day Ceremony, the Lismore City Concert Band enjoyed the best view of proceedings from centre stage at City Hall. The event kicked off with a rousing rendition of the national anthem to accompany the flag raising ceremony. The Band was called upon a number of times throughout the morning, providing some Australian tunes to help welcome 23 new Australians in the Australia day Citizenship Ceremony and to give thanks to those receiving this year’s Australia Day Awards. Another exciting opportunity for the Band to share music with our community.

Thanks to Paul Tuthill, official photographer on the day, for generously providing this beautiful shot.
