YOUNG MUSIC PRODUCERS
Theatr B Young Music Producers Programme
Love live music and want to learn how to produce and promote a programme of gigs and events?
This autumn, Theatr Brycheiniog — in partnership with The Muse Agency — is bringing back its Young Music Producers programme.
This is a hands-on opportunity for young people to learn how to produce live music, from planning gigs and selecting performers to organising events and working as hosts and technicians on the night — all with guidance from the professional teams here at Theatr Brycheiniog and The Muse Agency.
Learning from the theatre and music technicians, the communications team, box office and production staff, participants will gain first-hand insight to what’s involved in organising music events and performances and meet professional musicians and producers of festivals and events from across Wales.
If you’re aged between 14 – 18 who and would like to find out more, please email: youngproducers@brycheiniog.co.uk
