Who We Are

St John Ambulance Concert Band (formerly known as Brisbane Citizens Concert Band) is an incorporated community band founded in 1919 by music store owner Mr Albert Kaeser. Mr Kaeser conducted the band for nearly 50 years and gave the band its original practice venue in his store on George St.

Currently, this non-for-profit community concert band is comprised of 35-40 musicians with members who range in age from 17 to 80 and come from a diverse range of backgrounds and interests. The band is lucky to be comprised of professional musicians, teachers, doctors, nurses, engineers, landscape architects, postal workers and students. 
At the core of St John Ambulance Concert Band, is a group of professional jazz musicians who are well known in Queensland's jazz scene. This experienced band is no newcomer to a professional style of performance!
