Yesterday’s Joy – April 26, 2025 – Matsqui Centennial Auditorium, Abbotsford
Tickets are on sale now for our annual Spring Concert! Join us for an evening of heartwarming melodies and cherished memories. While nostalgia often brings to mind the familiar tunes of yesterday, contemporary composers also have a unique way of capturing that same sentiment. From timeless classics to modern echoes of the past, let us take you on a journey through the music that has the power to connect us across generations.
Senior, student, and family rates are available! The concert will be performed at the Matsqui Centennial Auditorium in Abbotsford, BC, starting at 7PM.
Don’t miss our Silent Auction – we have received generous donations from all over the Fraser Valley and there is sure to be something for everyone. Keep an eye on our social media for a sneak peek of what’s up for grabs! All funds raised directly support our band in continuing to bring quality music to the Fraser Valley community.
