Brass Band Camberwell Citadel

Brass Band

The Camberwell Citadel Band was formed in 1911 and since has built up a reputation as one of Australia’s finest brass bands.  It has toured every Australian state and has made overseas tours to New Zealand (1976, 1991 and 2009), USA, Germany and Britain(1982), Singapore, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and England (1987), Finland, Russia, USA and Canada (1994), and Indonesia (2013).

The band is committed to playing music of the highest standard to the glory of God.  Salvation Army music has the dual purpose of providing entertainment and a means of taking the Gospel message to those who will listen, whether that is in indoor worship services, on the concert stage or in the streets of the community.
