Dear Members,

The Music in Communities Network is gearing up for its busiest period so far and we're glad to have you with us.

For the past few months we've had a change of manager from Tony Breese to myself, and we've been doing a lot of planning for our activities.  I’m excited to be driving the Network’s activities having played with many community music groups myself while growing up in Bowral, continuing to play and teach music, and until recently managing the Event Program at Wollongong Conservatorium of Music.
