About Us

The Southern Highlands Concert Band is a community organisation which was formed with the support of Wingecarribee Shire Council in 1985 and currently has a playing membership of more than forty musicians of widely varying ages.

The central aim is twofold: to provide quality music to complement the many civic and social events within and beyond the Southern Highlands, and to make available a medium for musicians of all ages to enjoy and develop their musical abilities.

The band performs regularly at both outdoor and indoor venues and presents a regular series of public concerts.

Membership enquires are welcome from players of wind and percussion instruments and should be directed initially to the band Secretary, or other contacts shown below. This may be done at any time via telephone or email, or in person at any rehearsal.

Rehearsals are held at 7:15pm on Wednesday evenings during school terms at the Bowral Memorial Hall, Bendooley Street, Bowral.

Visitors always welcome to rehearsals

The Southern Highlands Concert Band will be in full “fun” mode for this concert, with a variety of light-hearted and amusing pieces to help you while away a lazy Sunday afternoon. As always with the Band, the program will feature music from a variety of genres, including that which the critics describe as “indescribable.” We will also be featuring the world-renowned typewriter virtuoso Remington Olivetti. So come along for an afternoon of music that is just for fun.

Wrap up of 2019

By the time we reach the end of the year the Southern Highlands Concert band will have performed six concerts. The commitment and talent shown by all band members, who regularly turn up to Wednesday night rehearsals, undoubtedly shines through in each performance with audiences’ appreciating a wide range of music from the band during the year.
