Our Next Chapter
WHY THE NEW NAME?
A broader identity for everything we do.
Melbourne Municipal Band sounded like one performing group, but our organization is home to multiple ensembles, many musicians and a wide range of musical experiences.
Melbourne BandWorks better represents the people who perform the music, the community that experiences it and the support that keeps it playing.

SUPPORT.
