UPCOMING PERFORMANCES and EVENTS
40th Anniversary Gala Concert
Saturday 14 June 2025 at 9:00:00 am UTC
The Salvation Army Waverley Temple
958 High St Rd, Glen Waverley VIC 3150
A Musical Gala celebrating monash Concert Band's 40th Anniversary.
We warmly invite you to join us as the Monash Concert Band celebrates its 40th Anniversary with a Gala Concert featuring Australian composers and music. The two-hour programme includes two pieces by renowned Australian composer Graham Lloyd, "From Dawn to Dusk" and "Swinging Matilda," and we are absolutely delighted to have Graham Lloyd join us for the performance!
The event includes celebratory cake and coffee. History and Band Memorabilia from the past 40 years will be displayed, showcasing some highlights and interesting items from our journey. Your presence will make this celebration even more special.
If you can't make the concert, you can still be part of the 40th anniversary celebrations by contributing to our Chimes and Tam Tam Appeal. To celebrate our 40th year we are aiming to purchase an additional five chimes so we have a complete 1.5 octave set. We also lack a tam tam, or orchestral gong. Having a gong will really help us celebrate with a resounding crash! We appreciate any contribution you can make to help us reach our target. You can make a tax-deductible donation here to our appeal through the Australian Cultural Fund until the 24 July 2025. The Australian Cultural Fund will transfer all raised funds to Monash Concert Band as a grant with no commission.
We look forward to celebrating 40 years of community music making with you!
