Mr Rick Casagrande, Chairman of the 'Federation of Australasian Brass Bands' has announced the appointment of Professor David King as Music Advisor.

FABB was formed in 2007 as a catalyst for developing more formal links embracing brass bands within the Southern Hemisphere.

Mr Casagrande commented: "The appointment of Australian born Professor David King as Musical Advisor to FABB represents the Federation's decision to align their vision for a more cohesive Australasian band 'movement' with a globally recognised musical figurehead."

FABB's appointment coincides with the launch of Professor King's newly formed Qdos Consultancy Pty Ltd, a global network providing mentorship and advisory consultation specialising in performing arts and music education.
