Thank you for visiting our website. We hope that you will find these pages inspiring and full of useful information about our band and what we strive to achieve within our community.

The Elmbridge Community Big Band is a non-auditioned, non-profit community society formed in August 2009 by the founder of the well known Elmbridge Choir and Elmbridge Ladies Choir - Cliff van Tonder.

Our mission is to inspire music lovers from all walks within the greater Elmbridge community to join together to make music to not only develop their own music skills but to share the fruit of these skills to make a difference within the community.

Over the last 4 years the Elmbridge Choirs have raised in excess of £80,000 for charities and the Big Band has already performed at various concerts since it's inception in August 2009, so helping deserving charities raise much needed funds. Most exciting, the Big Band has also performed alongside and together with both the Elmbridge Choir and Ladies Choir at charity concerts. Some Big Band members also have an opportunity to mentor and play with our newest section, the Elmbridge Young Musicians, a band of around 36 young children between the ages of 7 and 14.

Joining the Big Band is easy - all you need is desire to make a difference in your community, a sense of fun, play any of the Big Band instruments and preferably be able to read music.  Most of all, you must want to be part of a band and be able to commit to regular Tuesday evening rehearsals.
