#Youth Music Venture
HOTA is thrilled to have Youth Music Venture as a partner - a dynamic, volunteer-run program offering free music training for youth ages 11-17 to dive into the world of live music!
Youth Music Venture, established in 2009, empowers young musicians by teaching them how to play in a band at no cost. Over the years, they’ve made impressive strides, from performing 13 times during the Commonwealth Games to collaborating with mentor Chang Po Ching, a semi-finalist on The Voice.
Recently, they proudly represented the Gold Coast and Australia at the International Sister Cities Youth Music Festival in Chengdu, China, bringing home the first-place title—a prestigious “Gold” at the “Music Olympics!”
If your child has a passion for music, plays any instrument, and is ready for an exciting musical journey, Youth Music Venture is the perfect starting point.
Join us at HOTA on Fri 20 Dec, 4pm-4.45pm, to meet the talented young musicians, connect with their inspiring founder Ian Grace, and catch one of their amazing bands live in action!
