About Iowa City New Horizons Band:

The Iowa City New Horizons Band (IC-NHB) was founded in January 1995. Their mission is to provide the opportunity for all persons age 50 and older to learn and make music. In addition to the band itself, the IC-NHB will encourage entry-level group-music opportunities for members and nonmembers alike and facilitate the many current self-formed ensembles and those that will emerge. Their atmosphere is one of casual camraderie mixed with a passion for making beautiful music!
