TO THE FRONT TE PAPAIOEA

4 – 7 October 2024
The Stomach – Palmerston North 

We are proud to announce the return of our Palmerston North programme, To the Front Te Papaioea! The youth music programme will be held in the school holidays between Friday 4 – Monday 7 October, hosted by Creative Sounds Society – The Stomach, Palmerston North.

To The Front Te Papaioea is open to youth aged 12-17 years who are women, transgender, intersex, takatāpui, queer and gender diverse.

At the programme they learn instruments, form bands, write original songs, and perform at a showcase, all guided by musicians, mentors and industry professionals. Alongside collaborative learning, participants take part in workshops about DIY merchandise, mindfulness, and performance skills. Each day they enjoy lunchtime performances from local artists.
