Junior Mingle – Oct 15, Hanlon School of Music

Calling all aspiring school-aged musicians and parents curious about navigating the music industry!

Join us on Tuesday 15 October for Junior Mingle at Hanlon School of Music, where school-aged musicians can connect with local artists in a relaxed, welcoming environment. 

Facilitated by award-winning producer and musician, Brad Hosking and Gold Coast Music Network Co-Founder, Samantha Morris, this event is the perfect opportunity to ask questions, gain insights into building a music career at a young age, and chat with experienced musicians.

While the kids engage with artists and each other, parents will have their own space to network and share experiences with other parents navigating the music scene, learning from those who’ve supported their children through the industry.

It’s a free, family-friendly event, complete with sausage sizzle. A great night to get inspired, connect, and enjoy a friendly community atmosphere. Spaces are limited—register now!

Hosted by the Gold Coast Music Network in partnership with Hanlon School of Music, Southern Cross University and City of Gold Coast.
