Ballarat Wind Orchestra is the region's premier wind ensemble.

The Orchestra has completed several ambitious projects since its inception, including premiering new Australian works for Wind Band and collaborating with organisations like the Ballarat Choral Society and the Victoria Chorale to present Carmina Burana and Mozart's Requiem in Ballarat and Melbourne.

The Wind Orchestra completed tours to Europe in 2011 and 2018, and China in 2014. This year, the Orchestra will perform throughout France and Italy, including performances in Angers, the Chiesa di San Massimo in Turin, Riva del Garda and at the Festival des Anches d'Azur in La Croix-Valmer.

Sally-Anne Russell will join the Ballarat Wind Orchestra and conductor Mario Dobernig as special guest for this year's tour.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
