Darwin City Brass Band

Darwin City Brass Band has been an iconic and valued organisation since its inception in 1981. Comprising 30+ volunteer musicians, Darwin City Brass Band reflects the diverse and vibrant communities of Darwin and the surrounding districts

Proudly supported by the City of Darwin, the bands identity as an accessible and essential community resource is built on a commitment to bringing live musical performances to all corners of the City of Darwin. From Anzac Day parades, community events, fundraising occasions, civic and ceremonial events, look for the band performing in a truly unique cultural geography.

Are you planning a conference, corporate function, Christmas event, special celebration or a social event? The band is available for private functions, corporate and fundraising events. We can tailor a program to suit your needs and musical tastes - whatever the occasion. Contact the band for more information about how we can bring live music and a vibrant atmosphere to your event.

Each year, the band reaches an ever increasing audience with innovative musical programs such as the City of Darwin's ‘All Things Christmas Program’. Our very own 'Brass in the Park' concerts are highly popular during the dry season. 

Darwin City Brass Band rehearses at the band room, 2 Abala Road, Marrara on Tuesday evenings between 7.00 pm and 9.00 pm. The Learning and Development Band also rehearses every Wednesday between 4.30 pm and 7.00 pm during school terms. Our Musical Director is Jack Risos.
