Welcome!

This music project was has been driven by the enthusiasm and skill of band leader Nadeem Naz, a well-known member of the Regina arts community. As a new Canadian years ago, Nadeem understands the challenges and opportunities for people coming to a new country.

Throughout his musical and working career in Canada, Nadeem has celebrated the diversity of his many neighbours, and for many years the Free Range Multicultural Band has been a tangible expression of his and others' appreciation of the opportunities for growth in a diverse cultural community.

The Free Range Multicultural Band celebrates our new neighbours, in all their diversity.
