Knox Wind Symphony

KWS’s epic journey took us from Sailing with Whales, all the way through Elsa’s Procession to the Cathedral, with a quick stop in NYC with the Jets and the Sharks.
Thanks again to Matthew Holzinger for stepping up to the role of conductor this term, he did a fantastic job and we’re sure this won’t be the last time he’s at the KWS helm!
And a final thanks to all those who came to support the concert, we hope you had just as much fun as we did 🐋 🏰

KCB had a fantastic time gliding across the Alaskan Snow, listening to some Travelin’ Music and seeing the stunning Northern Lights yesterday!
For such a young band, KCB is sounding fantastic and we couldn’t be prouder of yesterday’s performance.
Thanks to all of those who came along to support the bands, it was a great atmosphere and we hope to see you at the next one 🏔️

Last chance to join us on today’s ‘Journey’.
Tickets still available via Trybooking or at the door 🎟️

At KWS, we aim to provide opportunities for our members to go beyond playing. At the upcoming Journey concert, three of the four conductors are also current performers with KCB and KWS.
Doug Lewis is bringing his fantastic Highvale Primary Band. Sion Boomsma has been the Musical Director of KCB since its inception in late 2024. Matthew Holzinger has been guest-conducting KWS this term, taking a break from playing a variety of instruments to take a turn on the podium.
Thank you to our fantastic supporters, Harris Blake and Parsons, Fine Music, Knox City Council and Wantirna College for allowing us to provide opportunities like this to our community.

Knox Wind Symphony Inc. is excited to present an afternoon Journey, shaped by a program that captures a sense of place and motion.
Knox Wind Symphony and Knox Concert Band will be joined by the Highvale Primary School Concert Band and Highvale Primary School Symphonic Band, and we are so excited to be a part of these young musicians’ musical journey in a small way.
Tickets are available now through TryBooking 🎟️🎶

What a fantastic bunch of people to spend a week away with! Reminiscing on some lovely social moments in Brisbane last week ☀️🌇

And that’s time on Nationals 2026!
Thanks to everyone who came to support in person or online. We had a fabulous time preparing and playing, and maybe an even better time soaking in performances from brass and concert bands from across Australia. Can’t wait to do it all again in 2027 🎶

Another big congratulations to our second quartet, the Flutes of Hard Knox on their debut performance in the quartet competition. The aim of this quartet was to work on blend and ensemble skills, to improve the KWS flute section, and we were thrilled with the results! 🪈

Well done to KWS’ fantastic Saxophone quartet, The Daniel Van Bergen Saxophone Appreciation Society, for both an incredible name and a beautiful performance at Nationals this year. Can’t wait to see what they do next 🎷
