The Southern Area Concert Band is one of Victoria's premier community based ensembles. Sponsored by the City of Kingston and based in Moorabbin, the Southern Area Concert Band has been contributing to the rich cultural life for which Melbourne is renowned by providing award-winning quality music to the public since 1971.
This diverse range of people, ages and backgrounds is cemented together by our love of performing live music both within our local community and around Australia. Our music library consists of a huge variety of styles ranging from classical and movie themes to big band and pop. Of course, no concert band library would be complete without a variety of marches and a selection of music from wind band composers such as Ralph Vaughn Williams, Gustav Holst, Percy Grainger and John Philip Sousa.
Our Next Public Performance:
Southern Area Concert Band's next performance will be at our annual "Concert for the People", this year to be held at the Shirley Burke Theatre in Parkdale. In keeping with the band's philosophy of continual improvement, we have decided to move this event to a more intimate venue to allow us to provide our audience with a more enjoyable experience. We will be presenting "Soiree" on October 3, and will be featuring each of the bands of the Southern Area family. We look forward to seeing you there.
