Young Auckland musicians called to take the stage
Budding young musicians are invited to register for a forthcoming secondary school music showcase.
Singers, vocal groups, instrumentalists, bands and dancers can take the stage for Auckland Council's secondary school contest for talent across the city.
Young performers have until June 13 to register for Stand Up Stand Out 2021, also known as SUSO.
Councillor Alf Filipaina, chair of the parks, arts, community and events committee, said SUSO provided a creative outlet for young people.
“Our future musicians get the chance to interact and rub shoulders from leaders in the music industry," Filipaina said.
“Watching these talented youngsters step up onto a stage and perform in front of an audience is a real thrill.”
More than 1300 up and coming artists from more than 50 schools have competed in the event.
These include students from Kaipara College in nor-west Auckland.
Heats kick off in August across three hubs- the Ōtara Music Arts Centre, Glen Innes’ Te Oro and the Roskill Youth Zone.
Semifinals will be held at Māngere Arts Centre, Ngā Tohu o Uenuku, on September 4 with the final held for the first time at Auckland's Town Hall on September 25.
