Description
The band plays a dynamic and varied programme each year and is Wellington’s largest community symphonic band with over fifty musicians. Whilst fun and social, the band works hard to achieve excellence in playing with many semi-pro musicians attracted to join as well as the top school aged wind, brass and percussion players.
The band’s rehearsal season is from February until early December with roughly about four performances in the Wellington region plus annual participation in the New Zealand Concert Band Association National Festival.
Entry is by audition and an 80% attendance at practices and concerts is the expectation for those wishing to join the band.
Wellington Symphonic Bands is the umbrella organisation for the Wellington City Concert Band and the Capital City Wind Band.
Can you help?
We have compiled a list of community orchestras and orchestral groups across Aotearoa New Zealand. While we believe this list to be comprehensive, we understand there may be omissions. If your orchestra is missing, please let us know. We strive for accuracy but mistakes can happen. Please share any corrections or additional information you have about your group.
