Показать описание
The Italian Band of Cleveland draws most of its members from Cuyahoga, Lorain, Lake, Geauga, and Summit counties.

There are also members that live farther away and come to Cleveland just to play in the band occasionally. There are over 50 currently active members, though usual attendance at jobs is from 15 to about 30.

The age of members ranges from around 15 years old to over 85 years old. Some have been members for over 30 years. Young members are particularly welcome in the band since the future depends on renewing and sustaining our traditions.

The band is fortunate to have several area music teachers in the band, which greatly helps the recruitment of young musicians. We actively try to recruit members of Italian descent, though some members of the band are not Italian.

One thing we all have in common is the love of the music, and a desire to continue the tradition that began nearly 90 years ago.

As Art Piunno often said, The Italian Band of Cleveland is true, “Living History”.
