About the Band
The OLLI New Horizons Band of Wilmington, in cooperation with the UNCW Department of Music, provides an opportunity for adults of all ages to make music in a concert band format. Experienced musicians and beginners alike are invited to participate. For those just beginning to play, or playing again for the first time in many years, guidance is provided.
The OLLI New Horizons Band is a member of the New Horizons International Music Association (NHIMA), which began in 1991 when Roy Ernst, the founder of NHIMA, saw a need to provide adults an entry point for music making, no matter their experience level. See the entire New Horizons Band story at www.newhorizonsmusic.org.
