DCAS Announces Partnership to Develop Musical Talent

11 May 2015

On Tuesday, 12 May 2015, the Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport (DCAS) and the University of the Western Cape (UWC) will be launching a joint initiative aimed at supporting musicians to achieve success.

This initiative will give young musicians the opportunity to study at UWC in order to become certified in their field. These musicians have been identified through organisations that are currently being funded by DCAS, and they will be expected to use their talents to give back to these organisations during and after completion of their studies.

DCAS relies on the support of partners such as UWC to assist in supporting young artists and to ensure that their talent is developed and grown.

Media are invited to attend the launch.

Venue: Centre for Performing Arts, University of the Western Cape

Time: 09:30 – 11:30
