Want a sampling of our sound....go to all music samples

The Merrimack Valley Concert Band is a traditional community concert band, based in West Newbury, MA, consisting solely of people who love music. It's really that simple. We love to play and perform from "The Great American Songbook" in its broadest interpretation.

MVCB welcomes Anthony Beatrice!

After many years of dedicated service as conductor of the Merrimack Valley Concert Band, in August 2010 Karen Mundo passed the baton to Anthony Beatrice.  Tony first joined the MVCB as a percussionist when he was in seventh grade. Now he's come full circle with the band.

The Band’s purpose is to provide member musicians and the public with opportunities to develop and enhance musical skills, education, and enjoyment, through rehearsals and community concert performances.

Check out our Music Video page.

 The Band includes members from many towns in Massachusetts and New Hampshire; the ages and music backgrounds of band members are as varied as the towns from which they come. Currently, the Band has approximately forty members with room for lots more!

The vitality of the band rests on weekly rehearsals:

Tuesday evenings at 7:00 at Northern Essex Community College, Technology Center, Room 103, 100 Elliott Street, Haverhill, MA
