(MUSE) is a pioneering and unique opportunity for youth concert and

take place from 13 – 19 April 2006.
The event is being

supported by Empress Place Attractions Association and the Singapore
Band Director’s Association.
Participating ensembles
will perform in concerts, workshops and fringe events across Singapore,
compete against each other in a day of competition and get the
opportunity to take in the sights and sounds of one of the world’s most
beautiful and bustling countries.
MUSE is also a platform
and opportunity for young performers and band directors to mingle,
interact and share cross-cultural experiences with friends from around
the world and already there has been great interest from bands in
Singapore, England, Australia and New Zealand. The competition judges
will also be drawn from around the world.
The Festival is aimed at
concert and brass bands with an age range of 12 to 18 years-old and the
Festival organisers are taking every available action to make the
Festival as accessible, both musically and financially, to all youth
bands across the globe.
With the first Festival
still very much in the preparation stages, the organisers are still keen
to hear from as many bands as possible who may be interested in taking
part as they hope to make the first event a dazzling showcase of youth
talent from around the globe and consolidate MUSE’s status as one of the
world’s finest.
