David Elliott MP is pleased to announce The Hills Music Academy Senior Band is one of 20 NSW-based community brass and concert bands selected for the 2022 Community Band Development Grants Program funding , administered by the Band Association of NSW on behalf of Create NSW .
The group will use its funding of $ 1,000 to increase their banding activities within their community and help grow their audience numbers .
“ The Community Band Development Grants Program recognises the special role bands and live music play in our community life , and provides an excellent upskilling opportunity for musicians while promoting arts and culture around NSW ,” Mr Elliott said .
“ What I like most about this program is that it invests in our local communities by providing support to local talent and volunteers , while also increasing band activity , lifting performance standards and growing audience numbers .”
Mr Elliott said the funding would directly support the volunteers and the Baulkham Hills cultural sector .
“ It ’ s music to my ears that the NSW Government is supporting our Baulkham Hills musicians and volunteers through funding for Hills Music Academy Senior Band , and I am confident this investment will give them the assurance they deserve as they play on into the future ,” said Mr Elliott .
