Cville Band Presents: Summer at The Paramount
The Charlottesville Band closes out the 2025 Summer Season at The Paramount Theater with a bang, and also with a number of guest artists! Vocalists Rebecca Ewing and Jessica Wiseman will sing a pair of classical arrangements, violinist David McCormick will play “Theme from Schindler’s List” and “Fantasy on a Fiddle Tune” with the Band, and fan favorite Doug Schneider returns to sing “Dream a Little Dream” and “I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major General.” We’ll also have some terrific Band pieces and close our summer with Sousa’s “Stars and Stripes Forever.”
Come close out the summer season with an evening at The Paramount with your family and friends!
This is a free event and does not require advance registration. Please contact the Box Office Monday through Friday from 10:00AM to 2:00PM or call 434-979-1333 if you have questions about attending.
