"We are happy to invite you to an upcoming series of Global Music workshops aimed at young musicians from the Bay of Plenty region. This initiative has been sponsored by the Creative Communities Scheme and Multicultural Tauranga. While spaces are limited, there are a number of scholarships for participants (ideally aged 15-25) and workshops will be free of charge for those selected.

Participants can come from any background but ideally should be proficient in a musical instrument or tradition. We are looking for musicians who are keen to expand their musical horizons and collaborate with like-minded creatives. Sessions will each cover a different musical tradition under the guidance of experienced practitioners, culminating in a final concert consisting of pieces learned during the workshops.  

This is an open invitation to young people to apply. If you are interested or know of someone who would benefit, please register your interest by emailing Akash at [email protected] 

This initiative (titled “Global Village”) is being coordinated by local musicians/composers Akash Dutta and Tristan Hancock, who in addition to having many years experience in the industry, are active in supporting global music in Tauranga and the wider Bay of Plenty region. "
