Celebrate Mother’s Day with a powerful concert featuring works by female composers 

ATASCADERO — May is a month of blossoms, beauty, and honoring the incredible women who shape our world — mothers and daughters, to mentors and creators. In that spirit, the Atascadero Community Band is proud to announce its final formal indoor concert of the season, “Maestra – Music from Women” — a vibrant musical tribute celebrating thepower, creativity, and influence of women.

Featured pieces include the energetic “We Got the Beat,” the whimsical “Cats on Mars,” the expressive “Butterfly (roars),” and the bold “Tank!” among many others, all showcasing the talent and diversity of female composers and arrangers across genres. It’s an invitation to bring the special women in your life and celebrate them with an afternoon of unforgettable music.

In keeping with the ACB’s mission to serve both music and community, the ACB goes beyond its own performance stage.Donations collected at the event will benefit the SLO Youth Symphony, which provides exceptional ensemble education to local youth while inspiring new audiences across the Central Coast. ACB is honored to help contribute to keeping the music alive for generations to come.

Join the band for this one-afternoon-only performance on Sunday, May 4, at 3 p.m., at the Atascadero Bible Church. The concert promises an inspiring journey through music composed and arranged by women — a heartfelt salute just in time for Mother’s Day, illustrating the many ways women enrich our lives. Admission, parking, and refreshments are free. Donations are warmly welcomed.
