Music on the Mall - Wind Symphony

Cumberland Mall invites the entire community to enjoy the delightful sounds of some of the area’s finest musicians at Music on the Mall.

A variety of ensembles from the Cumberland County College (CCC) Music Department perform live in the mall's Center Court the first Friday of the month throughout the year. 

Music on the Mall features CCC’s Jazz Band, Wind Symphony, Gospel Choir, and Chorus, as well as The Brass Consort Quintet and The Cumberlads, with a different group performing at each concert.

The Wind Symphony is in its twenty-sixth performance season with founding Director Joe Akinskas. The ensemble, which has grown from five musicians to a full 20 piece instrumentation over the past 7 years, is a credited course at CCC and is being offered as a community service to adult musicians from the community. The Jazz Band performs approximately twelve times a year, on campus and along the Jersey shore, and has hosted the South Jersey Community Band Festival over the past five years.

The Music on the Mall program is a collaboration of the Cumberland County College Music Department and Cumberland Mall to provide the community with an ongoing series of light repertoire concerts showcasing local musical talent. The mall is pleased to present an exciting evening of wonderful entertainment for the entire family to enjoy.
