The RCB Summer Concert will feature popular music from the band Chicago as well as selections from “West Side Story” and “Star Wars”.
In the fall, the RCB will perform a very special Commission Concert to premiere a newly composed piece of music in honor of their founder and former director, John Zschunke. The concert will be played on November 16, 2025 at 4:00 p.m. at Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church in Apple Valley. Currently, the piece is being written by world-renowned composer Jodie Blackshaw, a native of Australia. Additionally, the Minnesota Symphonic Winds from Edina will join the RCB for this concert.
