About Us
Our History
In 1984 four musicians got together at the Hall Village primary school to play some brass music. From those humble beginnings came the Hall Village Brass Band.
Over the years the band grew both in numbers and stature within the national brass band community, winning the National Band Championships B Grade Brass category in 2002. The band and its successors have become an important part of the cultural community of the ACT and regularly provide music support for a wide variety of functions and occasions.
In 2012 the organisation changed its name to Canberra Brass Inc., which now comprises four brass bands; Canberra Brass, which is highly competitive at the national B grade level; Victoria Street Brass, which provides playing opportunities for musicians with a wide range of skills and experience; Newbery Brass, an all-ages training band; and the dynamic Canberra Youth Brass.
Another part of the musical family is our newly formed Percussion Academy; an all-ages training group for percussion students
