For more than 70 years, the East York Concert Band has brought the joy of music to audiences across the Greater Toronto Area. Conducted by Carol Anne Lynch, our band is a non-profit, community organization with talented members ranging in age from their early 20s to their late 80s. We perform throughout the year at a wide array of local venues including hospitals, legions, seniors’ homes and churches, in addition to private functions and our annual holiday and spring concerts.
The successful candidate will be familiar with classic band repertoire, able to lead musicians playing in different styles at varying levels of musical ability. The candidate will also have experience with the operational requirements of a typical community music ensemble; most importantly they must be able to provide a professional, motivating, and nurturing environment for the band members to achieve their best level of music performance.
