FREE LIVE CONCERTS EVERY SATURDAY DURING JULY & AUGUST! Held at Amsterdam

Don’t miss a concert!

Their Talent and Passion Bring Joy to So Many!

The Johnstown Citizens’ Band and the Gloversville Civic Band are composed of musicians, including professionals, teachers and music loving people who come together and perform free outdoor concerts during the summertime for their communities.

The first concert will be on Friday, July 7, 2023 at 7:00 pm in the Johnstown Park in the middle of the downtown area! The season continues for the rest of July on Fridays, skipping August 4 (ANNUAL Block Party), continuing on August 11 and 18. (Rain place is St. John’s Episcopal Church next door to the park)

At the first concert, the band will be dedicating a park bench (generously donated by the City of Johnstown) in memory of Joe Walsh, a longtime member and conductor of the band. We will be playing some of Joe’s favorite songs.

Our conductor this year is Noel Wing, retired music teacher, and professional musician. We invite you to come hear our fabulous band. It’s a great evening! Be sure to bring a chair! Because we are funded solely on donations from our supporters, we pass a bucket at each concert to help us defray the costs of presenting these concerts!

The Gloversville Civic Band starts their season on July 5th and will also present 6 concerts this season!

The conductor for the Gloversville Citizen’s Band is Tom Gerbino, a retired music teacher. Concert Dates for this year are July 5, 12, 19, 26, August 2 and 9 and are held at the Trail Station Park. If it rains, they will be at the Lexington facility next to Littauer Hospital in Gloversville

The final concert on Aug. 9th will be held at the Lexington ARC Center Gymnasium at 127 E. State St., Gloversville.

All concerts start at 7:00pm. Audience should bring chairs and/or blankets for seating. Support and Donations can be sent to: Gloversville Citizens’ Band, PO Box 984, Gloversville, NY 12078
