Monday 15th July 2024 – Antigua and Barbuda: The Commonwealth Resounds (TCR) and the Antigua and Barbuda Youth Symphony Orchestra (ABYSO) are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking collaboration bringing together talented musicians and singers from Antigua, Montserrat, and St. Kitts. This unique partnership aims to foster musical creativity and cultural exchange among young musicians from these islands, focusing on four exciting areas: Jazz, Film, Fusion, and Wind Band.
The Commonwealth Resounds, an organization dedicated to promoting music and culture across the Commonwealth, will be working closely with ABYSO to provide an enriching and transformative experience for the participants. Building on the success of previous workshops, this year’s programme will take place from Monday 15th July to Saturday 20th July 2024, in Antigua. The weeklong pilot programme invites students and educators to participate, offering them an immersive experience in musical composition. The workshop aims to promote cultural cohesion, enhance music education, and open doors to new career opportunities in the music industry. The Commonwealth Secretariat has also endorsed the programme as an activity under Commonwealth Year of the Youth.
