Hello and Thank-You for visiting our Central Kentucky Concert Band web. We are looking forward to another great performance season as we continue our quest for musical excellence and celebrate the important role of the adult music-maker in our community.
Members of the Central Kentucky Concert Band are adult instrumentalists who volunteer their time and talents to the Band. Our CKCB Family is comprised of teachers and preachers, engineers and lawyers, business owners and homemakers, civil servants and secretaries all united by a common interest – the love of making music.
The Band is a member of the Association of Concerts Bands of America, LexArts and is a registered 501(C)(3) organization.
The CKCB, founded in 1976, is widely recognized as the premier, adult concert band in the Commonwealth, as well as one of the finest ensembles of its nature in the southeastern United States. Since 1994, Dr. Peter LaRue has served as the Music Director and Conductor of the Central Kentucky Concert Band. Mr. Les Anderson is the Assistant Conductor and Dr. Lee Patrick serves as Chair of the Executive Board. The CKCB has benefited historically from the support of the Kentucky Arts Council, LexArts, the Scott County Council of the Arts, Georgetown College, Asbury College and Transylvania University.
