Under the direction of Dr. Christine Lundahl, the Rogue Valley Symphonic Band is a select group of some of the best musicians from Southern Oregon and Northern California. It is a semi-professional community band striving to present excellent performances of the finest wind band literature. The mission statement of the RVSB is to foster, encourage, and develop public awareness and appreciation of the ongoing history, tradition, and literature of the wind band. It is also a goal of the ensemble to help the younger generation fall in love with classical music by providing inviting and memorable concerts for them to attend. The RVSB will strive to offer band members the opportunity for self-expression through musical experiences with musicians of like interest and proficiency. Toward these ends, the RVSB will seek to explore all quality literature written for wind band, including standard band repertoire, new compositions, music by diverse voices within our profession, and transcriptions, as well as provide regular and exemplary performances of that literature for the community and schools.
