MUSIC CENTRE

Founded in 1983, the City of Holdfast Bay Concert Band is one of South Australia's premier community concert bands. We are dedicated to providing musicians of all ages with a friendly and enthusiastic environment to express their creativity. 

With over forty musicians at present, we perform regularly in the Holdfast Bay district and in other areas as occasions arise. Our repertoire embraces many styles of music including Classical, Jazz, Swing, Latin and works from film and musical productions. The City of Holdfast Bay Concert Band also made it's debut as a marching band in May 2009 as part of the Moonta Cornish Festival, so keep an eye out for us in local pageants this Christmas!

In May 2010, The City of Holdfast Bay Concert Band, along with the Adelaide Harmony Choir, provided three fantastic Proms Concerts.  This series of three concerts was a representation of the traditional 'Last Night of the Proms', which is held in Royal Albert Hall, England. The concerts were held at Elder Hall, Adelaide, Shedley Theatre, Elizabeth, and Hopgood Theatre, Noarlunga Centre. Both the band and the choir did really well and all three concerts were a huge success. Look out for the Proms again next year!
