EnglishWhat Is the City of Adelaide Concert Band Website?
Updated
The site at adelaideconcertband.org.au is the official website of the City of Adelaide Concert Band, a community concert band based in Adelaide, South Australia, that has been performing since 1936. It serves three main purposes: announcing upcoming concerts, inviting new members to join, and letting people hire the band for private functions or public events. If you want to attend a free concert, join a Thursday rehearsal, or book the band, this is the place to start.
What the band is and what it plays
The City of Adelaide Concert Band describes itself as having entertained Adelaide since 1936. Its repertoire ranges from jazz and swing classics of the 20th century to modern music favourites, and its concerts are tailored for audiences of all ages. The musicians themselves range in age and experience, which is consistent with its identity as a community band rather than a professional orchestra.
What you can do on the site
Attend a concert
The site lists upcoming performances with date, venue, time, and admission details. Examples shown on the page include:
| Date | Event | Venue | Time | Admission |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sunday 1 February 2026 | Concert | Botanical Gardens | 1:30pm | Free, open to the public |
| Friday 6 February 2026 | Lunch on the Lawns | Government House | 12–2:00pm | Free, open to the public |
| Sunday 1 March 2026 | Concert | Rundle Mall | 1:30pm | Free, open to the public |
A "View More Concerts" link and a "Previous concerts" section suggest the site is updated as the schedule changes, so check the concerts page for the current list rather than relying on any single snapshot.
Join the band
New members are welcome. The site gives the practical details directly:
- Where: St. Stephen's Lutheran Church, 152 Wakefield St, Adelaide SA
- When: Thursdays, 7:30–9:30pm
- What to bring: your instrument
The stated approach is simply to come along to a Thursday night rehearsal and join in. If you are unsure whether your instrument or skill level fits, the contact form or the band president (see below) is the way to ask before attending.
Hire the band
The band is available for hire for private functions and public events. The site states pricing from $500 for a 90-minute set, described as negotiable. Booking enquiries go through the "Hire Us" form, which asks for name, email, telephone, and message.
Contact the band
General enquiries use the contact form on the site (name, email, telephone, message). Alternatively, the page lists Band President Kon Kotsiou on 0410 338 191.
Stay updated
A newsletter signup collects full name and email address for band announcements, news, concerts, and more. The site also links to YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
Who this site is for
- Audience members looking for free, all-ages concerts around Adelaide.
- Musicians interested in joining a community band — the Thursday rehearsal is the entry point.
- Event organisers wanting a concert band for a function, with a published starting price to gauge budget.
One practical note: the concert dates shown are for early 2026, so treat them as examples of how listings appear and confirm details on the live site before making plans.
