The Alberta Virtual Band is the Alberta Band Association's response to the circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic. High school aged musicians will have the opportunity to play alongside members of one of Alberta's professional orchestras as they perform a brand new commission written expressly for the Alberta Virtual Band. All members of the Alberta Virtual Band will receive two small group coachings with instrument specific professional musicians and the Virtual band performance will be the world premiere of a new work by Allan Gilliland!
