Help Angus represent Australia in Scotland.

Hi, my name is Angus and I have been selected to represent Australia at the National Youth Wind Ensemble of Scotland. Only nine Australian students have been selected to attend.

This is an outstanding program, hosted at the world leading Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow. The week-long experience is aimed at high school students interested in pursuing a career in music and provides a diverse and challenging learning environment. The tour, supported by Open Conservatorium includes a cultural tour of London, Glasgow and the respective surrounding areas to support a fully immersive experience for the students.

As one of only nine Australian students selected via audition to participate in the National Youth Wind Ensemble of Scotland, it is a unique opportunity for me to broaden my musical skills and knowledge. It will provide me with exposure to new techniques, styles, and approaches to music-making that I may not have encountered before. NYWES also offers a chance to work with and learn from other talented young musicians, conductors and specialist teachers from around the world, which can be a truly transformative experience.

As I am sure you are aware in our current financial climate, a tour of this length and calibre can be of great expense to my family. The airfares alone come to $4500. I am hoping that you might be able to contribute to the costs, so that I am able to attend this fantastic opportunity.
