Victoria Brass is made up of the finest brass and percussion players in Victoria and are proud to have become the first band in history to perform live on the Australian Digital Concert Hall, showcasing the bands talents all around the world.
Victoria Brass is interested in cutting edge repertoire, free from the constraints and limitations of competition rules. The band performs top level compositions, showcasing the best of what banding in Australia can produce. Victoria Brass also introduced the first Youth Band Initiative in well over 10 years in the State of Victoria - The future of banding lies with developing young players to love what brass bands can offer.
