Naples Big Band has been playing the swing era's music live for 20 years, directed by trumpeter James Castaldi.
We play free public concerts at Cambier Park and Veteran's Park, plus ticketed shows at Bonita Arts Center — and every performance supports our other mission: putting instruments in the hands of Collier and Lee County students who couldn't otherwise afford one.
This year alone, we've placed instruments in Golden Gate, West Glades, Immokalee, Corkscrew, and Cypress Palm Middle Schools.
We're a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 45-0528087). Every donation goes toward keeping the music free and getting more kids playing.
