Join us upstairs on the Mezzanine for a great performance by The New Horizons Band- Lost at C Saturday, April 29th at 11am.

Lost at C is an extension of the New Horizons Band program offered through the Don Wright Faculty of Music at Western University in London, Ontario.

The band was formed in January 2016 by members of the New Horizons program who wanted to perform music from the jazz, big band, and old-time rock and roll genres.

MEMBERS / REPERTOIRE:

Lost at C members are an eclectic group of individuals ranging in age from the early 20’s to late 70’s- but with one common bond – we all enjoy playing music we grew up with or have come to know and enjoy. Our repertoire includes a wide range of musical styles – everything from classic jazz and big band numbers to old time rock and roll. From time to time the group will also perform some seasonal pieces.

MUSICAL DIRECTOR: Emily Rouse
