Gold Sounds Music Conference returns this weekend with a bounty of guests and sessions – including a dedicated Youth Program.
Taking place on Saturday October 15, the Gold Sounds Youth Program has been curated in conjunction with young people from Central Victoria, and includes access to Industry sessions at The Phee Broadway Theatre, including Yarning Strong, Marketing & PR, Community & Public Radio, Copyright & Licensing, and Songcraft: In Conversation.
Speakers at these sessions include musicians Mitch Tambo and Dallas Woods, along with a very impressive list of industry professionals.
Further youth-only sessions facilitated by The Push include Touring & Artist Management 101, with guests Sean Simmons, who is the director of Booking Agency Press Play Presents, and Katie Besgrove from Lookout Kid, Courtney Barnett’s management team.
It also includes a Planning & Publicity Workshop – a hands-on session on event planning and creating music/event press-releases, with Emily Kelly (Director, Deathproof PR) and Lisa Lorenz (All Ages Programs Manager, The Push).
Young people also have free, priority access to a Music Interviewing Skills workshop led by Journalist and Broadcaster Jane Gazzo.
The full program and tickets are available on the Gold Sounds website.
