Melodienacht

Tanunda Town Band’s best known event is Melodienacht - the 1967 brainchild of a local businessman whose concept was simple: A program of music that everyday people want to hear, NOT just “band” music. From that first successful night, Melodienacht has expanded into an annual two night sellout concert performance to audiences of over 2000. They flock to hear the band perform popular melodies, classical favourites, soloists from within the band and guest artists. As the band does not advertise its program or guest artists ahead of time, there is considerable anticipation and speculation.

Melodienacht is presented on the last Friday and Saturday of May, in the Tanunda Show Hall (pictured right) - adjacent to the Tanunda Oval - from 8pm.
