'At Home' Concerts
Our ‘At Home' and Twilight concert series takes place at the state-of-the-art music facility, the Defence Force School of Music (DFSM). The complex is located within Simpson Barracks, Macleod.
The primary purpose of these concerts is to give trainees and students under training necessary on-the-job experience relevant to the course they are undertaking. Training includes the Basic Musician, Section Leader, Group Leader, Assistant Band Leader and Band Offi cer courses. Assistant Band Leader and Band Officer candidates conduct and compere the ‘At Home' concerts, gaining vital experience for their future roles in Defence Bands.
The nature of the courses means that repertoire needs to be demanding for students. Concert-goers are guaranteed to witness a spectacular display of versatility at every concert.
The ‘At Home' concerts commence at 11am in Newman Hall, DFSM. Tea and coffee are made available before each concert for a small donation.
The ‘At Home' and Twilight concerts play an important part in the training of Australian Defence Force musicians. The staff and trainees of the DFSM wish to thank the ‘Friends of the Band' for their commitment
to making these concerts a success!
