Skunkworks Community Limited
Acknowledgement of Country
Skunkworks community acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the lands and waters on which we live, work, and make music. We pay our deep respects to Elders past, present, and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across Australia
We honour the world’s oldest continuing cultures and recognise that music has always been a vital part of First Nations storytelling, celebration, and community. May we walk together in harmony, learning from these rich traditions as we create and share music today.
Our Projects
Skunkworks Community Limited is a Not For Profit performing arts organisation that is committed to providing opportunities for community bands, orchestras and aspiring musicians to improve their skills through development projects, show productions and collaborations with established professional artists.
The Skunkworks Community Youth Band Festival brings together the brightest young brass and percussion talent from across Victoria, New South Wales, the Goldfields, and Albury-Wodonga. Open to players under 25, the festival offers a unique chance to learn, perform, and be inspired by some of the best musicians and educators in the business. This exciting event celebrates the energy, skill, and passion of the next generation of players, building connections across communities through the power of music.
