Kate Street Big Band
We are a jazz big band with a wide repertoire including swing, Latin, jazz standards, ballads, rock, Christmas music and lots more.
​
In 2024, Kate Street Big Band (previously Kate Street Mob, or KSM) is celebrating 25 years of music making.
The Kate Street Big Band performs at numerous community events, including the Sherwood Community Festival and the Brisbane Big Band Festival. In 2023, we began to host our own twice-yearly solo shows at the Brisbane Jazz Club at Kangaroo Point. All shows have sold out. BrizWest Ensembles also puts on community concerts with Kate Street Big Band and West Winds Concert Band once or twice a year.
The Big Band rehearses fortnightly on Saturday afternoons 2-4pm during school terms at Good News Lutheran Primary School, Middle Park. See the calendar for scheduled rehearsal dates and times. Members are requested to arrive 15 minutes early to help set up for rehearsal and to warm-up and tune.
