Young musicians in Wales are invited to audition for Live Music Now's training and development scheme which provides regular paid performance opportunities across the country
Live Music Now delivers over 500 concerts across Wales and over 6000 throughout the UK each year in residential homes, schools, hospitals, arts venues, festivals and more. Their work focuses on health and well being with an emphasis on isolated elderly and those living with dementia, as well as children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities but also includes public performance opportunities to help develop performance and communication skills and bring outstanding live music to as many people as possible.
Claire Cressey, Director for Live Music Now Wales said, “Soloists and groups in all genres - Acoustic, Rock & Pop, Classical, Jazz, Folk and World Music - can audition to join LMN this April at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff. It is a fantastic opportunity for musicians to kick start their professional career. If you are passionate about sharing your music with a wider audience, in both community and public settings, and are accepted you will benefit from an ongoing programme of training and development, including regular paid performance opportunities at MU rates. Appreciative audiences, paid performances, regular work and development opportunities – it is a dream opportunity for performers as they start what can often be a very challenging career.”
