The Federation of Australasian Brass Bands (FABB)

This site is dedicated to the promotion and rebirth of Brass Banding to the wider community. It is hoped that the brass band movement can be promoted as both a healthy art form and building up of alternative family blocks within which the members can actively seek and act out their musical passions.

It is our goal to promote the banding movement to all levels of our community and hope that individuals with musical talent and inclinations have a viable pathway into the community whether their goals be as a professional or amateur musician.

FABB appoints King

Mr Rick Casagrande, Chairman of the 'Federation of Australasian Brass Bands' has announced the appointment of Professor David King as Music Advisor.

FABB was formed in 2007 as a catalyst for developing more formal links embracing brass bands within the Southern Hemisphere.

Mr Casagrande commented: "The appointment of Australian born Professor David King as Musical Advisor to FABB represents the Federation's decision to align their vision for a more cohesive Australasian band 'movement' with a globally recognised musical figurehead."

FABB's appointment coincides with the launch of Professor King's newly formed Qdos Consultancy Pty Ltd, a global network providing mentorship and advisory consultation specialising in performing arts and music education.
