Resa’s Pieces began in 2000 with Resa’s dream: to form an ensemble setting for adults to return to playing wind instruments that they once familiar with at an earlier time in their lives.
Resa's Pieces, began under Resa Kochberg’s directorship. The initial 18 eager members of the Concert Band were retaught music basics.
Resa's Pieces played its first concert six months after its founding to a small audience of family and friends. Since then, the Band has evolved into a unique, community concert band. Members’ understanding of music as a language has grown considerably. The Band's success, strength and uniqueness are credited to the enthusiasm and commitment of its members and the continuing and endless devotion of its conductor, Resa Kochberg.
Resa's Pieces celebrated its 11th Gala concert on June 8, 2010 playing
to a sold-out audience at the 631-seat Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing
Arts.
Resa's Pieces' members come from diverse backgrounds and
all walks of life. Ages span from the 20's to almost 90 years
young. New "Pieces" often
express "Wow, it really all does come back!" Rehearsals are held weekly where " Do
your best but also have fun " is what is expected.
Resa's Pieces, true to its early beginnings, continues to maintain a unique rapport with its audiences and plays repertoire that is recognized by all.
Thanks to Resa's
vision, members, once again, share in the joy of playing their instruments.
Resa's Pieces Concert Band is a proud member of the Canadian Band Association-Ontario
