Advent Brass: 100 Year Celebration Charity Concert
With James Morrison

One night only. One hundred years in the making.

Advent Brass invites music-lovers to come and celebrate a century of wonderful memories at their 100 Year Celebration Charity Concert - a powerful, feel-good musical journey through time, live at Hamer Hall.

In a sensational cross-generational showcase, legendary jazz virtuoso James Morrison joins the band, accompanied by centenarian Romney King on Grand Piano. With vocalists Helena McKee, Walter Saluni and Tim Jaques bringing a range of unforgettable hits to life audience members can expect rich brass harmonies, high-energy swing and jazz, classical and gospel highlights, Christmas favourites and other timeless classics. Adding to the remarkable lineup on the day, Reynold W.B. Gilson OAM will conduct the band - honouring of three generations of Gilson family leadership and marking a century of dedication to music and community.

A fast-paced performance spanning multiple genres and generations, the 100 Year Celebration Charity Concert is designed to entertain, inspire, and honour an extraordinary musical heritage. With fan favourites like Singin’ in the Rain, I Got Rhythm and All You Need Is Love in the mix, the concert will also feature rare archival footage, historic interviews, and photos throughout the evening, in a heartfelt tribute to the Advent Brass Band's enduring story.

Running for one night only at Melbourne’s iconic Hamer Hall, this incredible event is the perfect way to spend a Sunday. Not to be missed!

Advent Brass was formed in 1925 and for the past 100 years has served churches, schools, and the community, assisting with a variety of programs, concerts and marching parades. The band is highly regarded and has also won multiple awards at the Australian National Band Championships.
