Congratulations Alexis, our Musical Director, who has been awarded an invitation to attend the Music and Wellbeing Symposium to be held at the Melbourne University from February 10th to 11th 2009.
Alexis received this invitation after lodging a submission to apply for one of the three “tickets” available Australia wide.
SYMPOSIUM OVERVIEW
Music is the world’s most established community development tool. Before recorded music, people used to make their own music. It was the glue that held communities together, and it still can be!
Inspirational Australian and International theorists – Jon Hawkes (Community Music Victoria) and Brynjulf Stige - will be speakers as part of a two-day symposium to learn about the cultural and biological reasons that active music-making improves community life. This program is designed for those from many areas of community development, arts and culture, education and welfare and health. Come along and access the science that backs up the powerful experience of music making for wellbeing.
