The Yale Concert Band will tour Australia for the first time in its 100-year history from 26 May 2018, with concerts in Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney and Newcastle. The band is renowned across the USA having performed at Carnegie Hall, in London's Royal Albert Hall, and many tours across Europe. Consisting of 55 brass, woodwind, keyboard and percussion players, the bands repertoire is varied, from John Philip Sousa's rousing band music to chamber and ensemble works.
On this tour they will premiere a reconstruction of the last composed unfinished piece by famous Australian composer Percy Grainger. This reconstruction has never before been performed in concert in Australia.
