ABOUT THE BAND


​Merri-bek City Band (MCB) is a dynamic community music organisation based in Brunswick, Melbourne. The Band - and its antecedents in Brunswick and Coburg - has been pumping out brassy tunes since 1882. In recent times Merri-bek City Band has been reinvented, evolving beyond traditional brass band music to encompass more diverse musical styles.

The band is based at the Cross Street Music Hall at 16 - 22 Cross Street, Brunswick (Melbourne, Australia). 
 
Merri-bek City Band is the umbrella organisation for a number of member and associate ensembles including its own core groups, the MCB Phoenix Project and the MCB Krysalis. MCB is run entirely by volunteers and administered by a committee elected from its membership.
 
In any given week, rehearsals and performances at Cross Street will encompass everything from amateur ensembles to some of Australia’s most acclaimed jazz professionals.
