There is a wide range of musical opportunities in the Epping area – from school bands through to larger marching bands and choirs. Most perform at a range of community events each year, and offer the chance for people to explore new skills and friends.

Community Bank Epping is supporting two such organisations with grants – so watch out for when you can see them perform:

Macquarie Singers

A large, non-audition choir, this group has outstanding public performances twice a year. A wide range of singers participate under expert guidance, practicing weekly. Our regular sponsorship assists with covering costs.

Their next concert is called Dynasty and is the music of the Bach family. It will be held on Saturday 21 June at Turramurra Uniting Church and will be a great night’s entertainment. Go to mus.org.au for more information and ticket sales.

Epping West Youth Band

A couple of years ago, enterprising Epping parents decided they wanted to give their children more musical opportunities in a band setting – and that led them to setting up a new youth band. Open to all local children, Epping West Youth Band is under expert leadership and offers a wide range of musical opportunities.

Community Bank Epping was delighted to help with a grant for new music stands and other equipment.

The band has recently played at an Anzac Day dawn service and in a concert at West Epping Uniting Church. You can see what they are up to on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/people/Epping-West-Youth-Band
