Cardinia to host online musicians
Cardinia Shire Council is seeking applications from emerging contemporary musicians to take part in an online residency and performance program.
Cardinia Shire’s Music Residency Program is an annual event renowned for connecting music industry heavyweights with local emerging talents. It focuses on developing participant’s skills, capacity building and live performance opportunities.
The program has been moved online this year in response to COVID-19.
This year’s program is available to four local individual musicians. It includes mentoring by artist, manager and booking agent Jarred Young (Bad Pony, Feelds), training on streaming a live performance and musical performance techniques, a live-streamed performance through the shire’s arts and culture social media sites and $300 funding for each successful participant.
To apply, musicians must be 18 years or over and live in Cardinia Shire.
Simply express in 100 works why this opportunity is important to you along with an applicant resume and external, publicly viewable links to music to mail@cardinia.vic.gov.au.
Be quick as applications close tomorrow (Wednesday) at 5pm.

The roof had alr eady been removed.
The post office and residence was built in 1887 by Mr J. Markey at a cost of £2872. It featured ornate window arches and an impressive entrance hall.
The official opening was March 4, 1888. By the 1960s, the facility was proving inadequate for the growing population and was demolished in 1965.
Playground equipment, a new oval surface and outdoor gym equipment are amongst projects being delivered in the latest round of Baw Baw Shire’s placemaking program funds.
The community-led projects will be delivered in Darnum, Labertouche, Noojee and Willow Grove.
The program injects $200,000 annually into four small rural communities.
The projects were decided after two rounds of community consultation in which each community identified a wish list of projects and then prioritised each project.
The projects approved by council include: Darnum - expansion of playground equipment at the Darnum Memorial Hall.
Labertouche - top dressing the oval playing surface and installation of multi-use goal posts at the Labertouche and District Community Centre.
Noojee - construction of new outdoor gym equipment at a location to be determined through further consultation with the Noojee community; and installation of new tables and seating along local trails and walks.
Willow Grove - upgrades to the playground at Willow Grove Recreation Reserve.
In Darnum, other projects supported by the community included a footpath link along Main St to the bus stop; new street furniture and garden beds in the village centre; and an Allambee St park upgrade.
Twelve projects were identified by the Labertouche community but there was overwhelming support for top dressing the oval surface.
Secure fencing between the community centre and oval and an urban trail course for horse riders at the community oval also were suggested.
