Founded in
1965 by Lucien Caillet as the Cherry Hill Symphonic Band, this brass, woodwind
and percussion ensemble has evolved into a dynamic musical group.
Under one name or another, the group has played
with soloists as diverse as David Bilger, principal trumpeter of the
Philadelphia Orchestra, Stan Kenton, , David Amram, and renowned soprano Marie
Robinson. We draw our membership from the Delaware Valley and positions are open
by audition only. Our musical backgrounds are diverse and include experience in
jazz, orchestral, rock, music theater, and chamber music. Most of the members
hold music degrees.
The group has toured Austria and the United Kingdom performing concerts at the
Royalty and Empire Exhibit at Windsor Castle. We were honored to perform Malcolm
Arnold's Four Scottish Dances at Kneller Hall under the baton of Colonel
George Evans, O.B.E., Director of the Military School of Music (Ret.).
