Youth music project
A youth music project organised by the Riverbank Arts Centre in partnership with KELT, the County Kildare Leader Plus group, is aimed at developing the talent of young musicians across County Kildare.
The six-month project, Unearthed, is open to musicians between the ages of 14 to 24 and incorporates mentored rehearsals, master classes, seminars, workshops in the music industry, a professional music tour, making a CD, and -- on project completion -- a FETAC Certificate.
Unearthed can only offer 48 places and will take place evenings and weekends from October 2005 through to March 2006.
Project Manager Marcella Bannon says it will open doors to young people who are serious about their music 'but who haven’t really figured out how to achieve their dreams'.
SÃnead Redmond, Assistant Project Manager, says it will be 'life changing' for the participants who are selected. "We hope to be the catalyst that takes these young people to the next level of their artist potential."
