Announcing Our New Music Director

Cheryl McHugh

Cheryl McHugh, Music Director

Cheryl McHugh’s work conducting concert bands includes the Douglas College Concert Band, the 15th Field Artillery Regiment Band, and Cadet Bands across the province.

As the Director of the Douglas College Concert Band in 2023, she took the band to a new and exciting calibre of performance. With thoughtful programming, she was able to highlight their strengths while challenging their technique. As a result, the students were excited about the music and worked hard to present a great concert.

As the Director of Music of the Band of the Fifteenth Field Regiment, Vancouver’s professional military band, Cheryl provided musical direction, liaised with sponsor organizations, advised those tasked with running chamber groups on protocol, and selected repertoire. Her position required her to supervise a team that managed the largest library of wind band music in the province, maintain an instrument stores of several hundred pieces of equipment, and coordinate musical and public relations support to Army units across British Columbia.

In addition to conducting courses taken during her graduate studies, Cheryl completed conducting training at the Canadian Armed Forces Music School, participated in a Saskatchewan Orchestral Association International Saito Conducting Workshop with Wayne Toews, and was engaged in professional development organized by the Canadian Armed Forces with Dr. Gillian MacKay and Dr. Angela Schroeder.

The Richmond Community Concert Band is pleased to welcome Cheryl McHugh as our new Music Director, and we look forward to an exciting new season.
