Naples Concert Band’s December Concert in the Park

Under the direction of Harris Lanzel, the Naples Concert Band will provide the perfect music for this year’s Holiday Celebration at this year’s December Concert in the Park. Craig Greusel will narrate the very poignant “A Soldiers Silent Night” in addition to singing Robert Sheldon’s “A Most Wonderful Christmas”. Jenny Bintliff will sing Michael Brown’s “Grown Up Christmas List” and Naples’ own Flute Cocktail will put their holiday touch on the concert with a custom arrangement of “A Charlie Brown Christmas” by John Stein. “Westminster Carol”, Leroy Anderson’s “Sleigh Ride”, Philip Sparke’s “Shalom”, and Paul Lavenders arrangement of “A Home Alone Christmas” are a few of the other selections that will enhance this year’s Holiday Celebration.

For 48 years the Naples Concert Band has entertained Southwest Florida residents with memorable Sunday Concerts in the Park. With more than 20 great feature soloists and inventive programing the 2019 – 2020 concert season promises to impress with music that everyone will enjoy. Each of the band’s eight concerts offer its large audiences an exciting mix of new music and memorable old favorites.

Admission to all Naples Concert Band performances is free, with donations appreciated. Donations received at each concert help defray expenses and help with The Band’s Scholarship Fund, which has awarded over $120,000 to over 100 students since its inception in 1984.
