The band held its inaugural gala concert under Musical Director Erich Fackert on 10 July 2004 at Chapel Off Chapel, a church converted into a theatre space. The concert featured a wide variety of music, from Gershwin to Tchaikovsky to Duke Ellington. Our MC, acclaimed Irish cabaret singer, Enda Markey performed three songs with the band and two hauntingly beautiful duets with our conductor, who accompanied on saxophone.
The band of 32 played to vocal applause from a full house. The concert was filmed by Bent TV and subsequently broadcast on community television station Channel 31.
