Thanks to the Pitt Meadows Community …

… for an amazing Summer 2017 season!

With over 2000 people in our audiences over eight public performances in Pitt Meadows’ beautiful Spirit Square, this has been a record year in attendance for our Summer Serenade Concert Series!

The Bruce James Orchestra is honoured to have the opportunity each year to play in our own community, and is elated that big band music continues to be enjoyed, and that our event grows in attendance each year!

Thanks to everyone for your attendance and support of local live music.

Thanks also to Mayor and Council of the City of Pitt Meadows for their support, and to Susann Sigmund and the Arts, Culture and Heritage Department of the City of Pitt Meadows for all their assistance and support to ensure our summer season in Pitt Meadows was a success.

We look forward to seeing you all next summer … if not before!

All my best wishes,

Bruce – Band Leader – on behalf of the Bruce James Orchestra.
