The history of this society is directly linked to that of Zebbug. This band was founded in 1851 by Mro Filippo Galea. It is the oldest active band in the Maltese Islands, and the circumstances which contributed to its formation are intricately interwoven with the devotion towards Saint Philip, which in turn is intimately involved in the creation of this lovely town in the middle of Malta.

During the years this society evolved from a local band into a musical society expanding its scope. It has grown into an organization comprising several sections, spreading its operation into new fields. Its members are men, women, youths and even children who come from all walks of life and who work on a voluntary basis hand in hand with various benefactors and admirers of the society.
