On April 8, at 7:30 p.m., a free concert by The Southern Tier Concert Band, featuring select members of The Owego Free Academy Band, will take place in the O-A Theater (Owego’s High School Auditorium), located at 1 Sheldon Guile Blvd. in Owego. This is a free concert; free will donations will be accepted.
The Southern Tier Concert Band is an all-adult wind band of about 60 members. Approaching its 13th anniversary, this renowned group performs three to four concerts yearly, almost always in conjunction with a host school and its Band students.
This outstanding event, like all STCB Concerts, is free. These professional-level musicians are all volunteers. They simply want to perform, and they do it only for the joy of sharing their music with listeners.
