In Memoriam
Malcolm McCambridge, 1929 – 2025
He played saxophone, clarinet, flute and also piano. When he was younger he played weekend night gigs at dance clubs with a small band, on top of his day job as an engineer.
Music brought a lot of joy to Mac’s life. He generously shared that joy with his many anecdotes. We particularly enjoyed his sense of humour. It was a pleasure to have known him and shared in his joy of life. We remember him tonight with our music.
—————
Jacques Girardin, 1940-2024
Jacques was an active member of the clarinet section and he also did a lot for KC
B in the way of acquiring concerts for the band. He was outgoing and not afraid to call and visit venues on behalf of KCB. Thanks to him, we gave many great concerts. He will be missed.

WELCOME our new conductor & music director Brent Besner!
KCB is proud to introduce our new musical director & conductor Brent Besner.
A graduate of McGill University and Université de Montréal in clarinet performance and HEC Montreal in arts management, Brent has been playing clarinet professionally for the past 25 years and has played with a number of professional orchestras including the Montreal Symphony Orchestra. An enthusiasm for conducting led him to the podium in the mid-2000s and since then, he has conducted various professional and amateur ensembles. His passion for making music shows in his commitment to excellence and his joyful dedication to the members of his ensembles. We look forward to learning and growing under his leadership and tutelage.
