For more than 50 years, the Naples Concert Band has brought people together through exceptional music that uplifts, connects, and enriches our community. Our high-caliber concerts — performed in beautiful Cambier Park and livestreamed to reach even more music lovers — have become a cherished tradition for thousands of residents and visitors across Southwest Florida.

   To preserve this tradition and ensure our long-term sustainability, we have launched the Naples Concert Band Endowment Campaign. Our goal is to raise $650,000 to grow our Endowment Fund to $1 million, ensuring the Band’s continued excellence and accessibility for generations to come. With your support, this fund can provide a lasting source of stability—sustaining our performances and mission for years to come, alongside our annual donor programs like Fan of the Band and Concert Sponsorships.

   This permanent fund will allow us to continue offering outstanding performances, support our dedicated volunteer musicians — many of whom are music educators and professionals — and provide scholarships to promising young performers who share the stage with us.     Our ability to continue offering concerts that are accessible to all depends on support from people like you. Your tax-deductible contribution to the Endowment Campaign is an investment in the cultural life of Naples — today and for decades to come.

   Thank you for being part of our story and for helping us keep the music playing.

With heartfelt appreciation,

Ken Wistrom, NCB President
