The ensemble was founded in 1989 by several local musicians, with the encouragement of city officials and support from local businesses. The ensemble has grown significantly over the years and performs annually at numerous civic and community events.
Today, the band is comprised of approximately 70 talented and dedicated musicians from the Treasure Coast in Florida. In addition to full time professional musicians and our local music teachers, members of the band include doctors, attorneys, business professionals, and outstanding local student instrumentalists.
The Port St. Lucie Community Band brings people together through music and community outreach. Our mission is to enrich the cultural life of our community by providing a welcoming space for musicians of all ages to perform, grow, and inspire. We believe music builds stronger communities and fosters connections across generations, backgrounds, and experience levels.
As a nonprofit, we proudly support music education by awarding annual scholarships to local students pursuing music in college. These scholarships are funded through generous community donations and help us invest in the future of the arts. Our goal is to make music accessible, meaningful, and memorable for all.
Join us, whether in the audience or on stage, and be part of something bigger than music.
