The line up, which consists of trumpet, two trombones, tuba and drum, can be reduced to three, or expanded, with the addition of percussion, up to eight (or even more - a 14 piece variant played in the Centenary of Federation Parade on New Year’s Day 2001).
The expanded group, with West African drums, Brazillian bass sordo and Latin American timbale makes a uniquely massive impact, great for festivals and parades. They play music from all over the world: salsa, samba, soca, ska, reggae, jazz, New Orleans, funk, and even Macedonian wedding music.
The Klang are all professional musicians with credentials ranging from the Sydney Orchestras to Jackie Orszaczky's Godmothers. They are a fully acoustic roving band, great as icebreakers, crowd movers and for mingling and interacting.
The group was formed in 1991 and has performed many hundreds of times, notably at the Sydney and Canberra Festivals, the Kiama, Manly, Newport and Darling Harbour Jazz Festivals, Fox Studios, Rocks Markets, World Cup Soccer and the Sydney Olympics.
