The Illinois Brass Band, under the direction of Music Director Stephen Squires, is proud to announce the schedule of upcoming holiday performances.
IBB will kick off the holiday season with their annual Holiday Classics performance at Palatine’s historic Cutting Hall, 150 E. Wood Street, Palatine, IL at 2:00 PM on Sunday, December 6, 2015.

The band will also return to the sanctuary of Baker Memorial United Methodist Church, 307 Cedar Avenue, St. Charles, IL on Saturday, December 19, 2015 at 5:00 P.M.
Both performances will consist of Christmas music from around the world with familiar songs both sacred and secular.

Band member Mr. James Sobacki will be featured as Soprano Cornet soloist on the Stephen Bulla arrangement of “O Holy Night.”
