Salem Moravian Bands
Registrace 23. 04. 2020
The Moravian Brass Band was formed early in the twentieth century shortly after a congregation of the Moravian Church was founded in Mount Road in 1898. In 1949 the congregation was forced to move to Schauderville in terms of the Group Areas Act, and the congregation became known as the Salem Moravian Church, with the name of the band changing accordingly.
The band has traveled widely in South Africa, and has toured to Germany in 1994 and 2004 as well as to the USA in 2009 and 2018. Performances included a brass band festival in Ulm, with a massed band consisting of about 8 000 players, the Moravian Music Festival in Charlotte, North Carolina, and in 2018 the Moravian Unity Band Festival in Winston-Salem. Besides playing in churches, the bands perform numerous other functions in and around Port Elizabeth for the community at large.
The band has over the last few years produced several players who went on to become professional musicians and music educators.

Songs of Freedom
Christian Gregor School of Music Brass Ensemble recently undertook a European tour. With South Africa celebrating 30 years of freedom this year it was fitting and apt that the ensemble should play Alex Hitzeroth's Songs of Freedom on tour.

Amen. Absolutely stunning rendition of a wonderful hymn. I enjoy following your music. God bless Phillip Engel
Palm Sunday. Cannot be in church weens werk. Appreciate that I found this today, and by my own church brothers and sisters no less.
This is just awesome
Pragtige rendisie inderdaad. Be thoroughly Blessed as you sow beautiful sounds
Ongelooflike pragtige rendisie ... keep on pumping them awesome sounds into the atmosphere... Shalom

Awesome indeed! Reminiscent of my time in the Moravian brass band 35+ years ago! God is good!
Ptagtig Antonio. Agh moeder te pragtig. Groete Winston Petersen
Hello, SMB, - how do you encourage your youth to passionately partake in learning and playing these instruments? I would like to encourage the same.
🥲
Well done. Remember my brother Albert and Jerome missing them. Thank you for wonderful memories. God bless Phillip Engel
Lovely, beautiful Moravian. I'm proud of you.
Thank you so much 😀
Wonderful rendition of an amazing truth that God reveals His presence
Tears in my eyes ❤
Bravo 👏👏👏
Well done ladies and gentlemen
Though the sound recording of this exceptional rendition could have been clearer, it is evident that these young men and women are. REAL band, one of the best I have heard in a good many years. And indeed “It is Well with My Soul”*
Truly lovely! If this is the quality of music that one has at any church given church service, how fortunate are those who can worship each Sunday.
I love this! From the USA, a real round of cheers.
What a beautiful band. Wow!!
Oom Nico bravo!👌
Pragtig Antonio 👌
Well done!
Pragtige spel.
