Upcoming show in our 2023-2024 season: Nonsemble
Saturday, November 11, 2023, 7 p.m.
Nonsemble is a group of amateur musicians from across northern Iowa formed about 15 years ago by businessman and self-taught musician Jim Larson of Clear Lake. The band consisted of 11 members at that time. At present they have a roster of 19 musicians, and they play a variety of music from Big Band and Jazz up to 70s pop music.

They play many charitable events throughout the year, mostly in the Clear Lake and Mason City area, but their main goal is to just have fun playing music together as a group and developing lifetime friendships.
