The Wellington Brass organisation includes three active bands. Champion premier band, a social band (D Grade), and our development band- Buzzing Youth Brass.

With tradition, and a continued quest for musical excellence. We have earned a formidable reputation on the contest stage. Winning 10 National Titles in the last decade. We are the only band to have achieved 6 consecutive A Grade National Titles, at the worlds oldest Music Competition.

At Wellington Brass, we contribute to the cultural richness of the region. Fostering collaboration, we have toured with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. Performed alongside the Orpheus Choir and Dave Dobbyn, and partnered with the Royal NZ Airforce Band. We have established ourselves as a sought-after ensemble for partnering artists and musical groups.

We do not limit ourselves to the stage. Our music features on the radio, in feature-length film and we take our music to the streets and perform many iconic Wellington locations for civic events and ceremony to festival and fanfare!

Championing Brass Music since 1905!

Recognised on the international stage. We are celebrated locally for our pioneering approach and performance excellence.

Banding brings us together! Wellington Brass believes that our music unites the community.

Our goal at Wellington Brass is to share music through diverse and innovative concert programs. Through our education and outreach efforts, we welcome over 100 musicians to the Wellington Brass family.
