About Us
The Glenview Concert Band is a community band comprised of volunteer adults throughout the Chicagoland area. Founded in 1985, the Band is based in Glenview, Illinois, and performs concerts at a variety of venues around the north suburbs of Chicago. The Band is led by Director Greg Wojcik, who retired after over 37 years of teaching at Glenbrook South High School. The Band is sponsored by the Glenview Park District. Our members have diverse backgrounds and careers. While some are professional musicians, most find us a welcome place to continue their love of playing their instruments even though they are not professional musicians. We play many genres of music: classical, contemporary, popular, marches, and showtunes. Watch our documentary video to learn more about the band and the Band’s commissioning of Rossano Galante to write a piece to celebrate our 40th Anniversary. Come hear us play, dust off your instrument and join us for a rehearsal, or book us for an event!
