“Not only was it a valuable experience for our students to perform in front of a different audience, it was a fantastic opportunity for them to travel to another part of the country and share their work.

The whole experience was a massive boost for their confidence and aspirations.”

There’s an enchanting quality to working in an office where the sounds of a live, world-class orchestra fill the air all day long. I must admit, I’ve found myself completely absorbed in the melodies of clarinets and flutes drifting through the walls during many a meeting, often losing track of the conversation.

As a former sound engineer, I deeply understand the importance of listening. My training instilled in me the skill of discerning individual sounds, chords, notes, voices, and effects. The Music for Youth National Festival stands as a remarkable and electrifying event, drawing together thousands of exceptionally talented young musicians from across the nation, all bound by their shared love for live music. Throughout the festival, an eclectic mix

Not to be Missed!
