Just as books are the culture of the mind and art is the culture of the eyes … music is the culture of the heart. It enlivens humanity. It gets in touch with emotions, the breath of life. Sarasota Concert Band is the preeminent symphonic band in Sarasota and Manatee Counties. As a nonprofit corporation, their purpose is to promote good band literature with concerts that showcase music in superior performances.
