Band Together Day brings the Parramatta community together to celebrate the power of music and its impact on wellbeing. The day features live performances from Western Sydney's most talented student musicians, alongside virtual concerts streamed in from international student bands across the UK, Africa, Italy, and beyond. Another feature is an art and literature exhibition created by local and international students, offering a visual insight into how music shapes the way we feel.

Two Ways to Get Involved

1. Join Us On The Day
By showing up to one of the events below for 10 minutes of your time makes a huge difference to students.

Performance Programme

High School Concert Bands and Primary School Concert Bands will be coming together to perform at the heart of Parramatta.

From swinging jazz to massed strings, brass fanfares to the traditional sounds of Chinese chamber music, six very different ensembles take the stage across one big day of live performance.

Support young musicians by showing up!

Art & Literature Exhibition

The exhibition is from 10:30am - 2:30pm to the public to walk in and view the amazing works by the students.

We are exhibiting a wide range of painting, drawing, poetry, short prose in both visual art and creative literature.

Show your support for the student's work by checking out the exhibition on the day!

Thriving Together Through Music For Mental Health Awareness Day

We are proud to support Mental Health Month, which is a national event that is held every October to raise awareness of mental health, reduce stigma and encourage people in seeking support when needed.

This year’s theme is Together We Thrive and would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that no one needs to go through the journey in seeking help alone.

Come attend Band Together Day and listen to the music to lift your spirits up together as a community!
