The Westgate Concert Band are hosting a concert to celebrate the spring of flowers and upcoming festive season.

Social media manager Philippa Saunders said 29 performers will play at the event, which she described as a symphonic celebration of all things that are spring and summery.

“We will have favourites from the symphonic wind repertoire that we really love playing, and it’s also going to have some recognisable classic corrals that people will recognise,” she said.

“We’ve got highlights from other shows that people will definitely know like the Greatest Showman and Hamilton, hopefully there is something in there for everyone.

“We hope people will be uplifted by the experience.”

Philippa said she hopes the show will entice more people to join as the band is always looking for new members.

“We accept people of any capability , we have people who are quite new and we have more experienced players,” she said.

“This works well because the new ones get mentored which is lovely and sweet.”

The group is made up from members ranging from 15-years-old to 74-years-old.

“We are a real intergenerational ensemble and community group.”

The event will be held at the Maribyrnong Community Centre on Saturday, December 2.
