The VMO was founded originally in 2005 as the Vancouver Community Concert Band by Dr. Jim Rourk. Since then, we have expanded our program offerings to include jazz and marching, as well as several small chamber ensembles.

Twenty years later, in 2025, a new governance structure and organizational name was adopted - Vancouver Music Organization - representing our evolution as a collection of music ensembles with a shared purpose. Our ensembles perform at various civic and patriotic events, neighborhood festivals, and many other local and regional events.
