This grant application proposes hosting a music festival in Newcastle, Australia to celebrate local culture. The festival aims to bring music to people in various public settings rather than requiring people to travel to concerts. Performances would be held in shopping centers and universities to interact with diverse audiences. This allows people to define their musical identities and promotes local musicians. The advantages include creating a sense of community as people share musical tastes. Workshops and artist interviews would further educate people and foster connections between musicians. The goal is to explore Newcastle's musical genres and identities while bringing generations together through the universal language of music.

5. bring music to people rather the people to music.
This process can be achieved by singing up musician that are willing
to performs gigs, at particular place, for a set of people or group of
people. And also to allow those that are enable to come to concert
to enjoy live performance.
Hence in the an article the city council city the parties are one of the
favourite things Novocastrian love to do. (city council)

6. Place of holding performance.
-Shopping centre
-Universities Of Newcastle
Why? Because the target audience are more likely to be small group of people . The
reason being like Knapp(40;2011) state “ it is easy for people to interact with the
artist are the best way to hold parties.”

7. Performing in university
I have choose the university of Newcastle as a place to hold,
gigs and live performance. Simply because the university of
Newcastle, not only is a big representation of Newcastle
international and national gathering. But also it is the best
place for where people of different age, background can
meet and hang out and share similar experience and tough.
As it is also a symbol of education.

8. Performing in shopping Mall
I belief that performing in shopping mall, could be a good
experience, simply unlike university or school it target a
wider range of people ,in term of ages, and wider range of
people with different genre of people,
It also cover people .
By doing so music not only are we able to understand “the
way in which social relation act in within the
place”(p678;2005) and also how much music create as
sense of belonging outside the walls of theatre and music
centre.( Duffy , 2005)

9. BRING MUSIC TO PEOPLE RATHER THE PEOPLE TO MUSIC.
The advantage of hosting gigs .
Create a sense of place and gives them to opportunity to interact with one and
other and the artist, it is easy to create that sense of togetherness and sharing
the same kind of taste, or sharing difference in term of music and other social
even. (Knapp, 2011)
It allow the artist to connect with the public at a deeper level, get inspiration
from the audience, by listening their own personal story and understanding of
music.

10. Method and strategies
1. Live performance
Recruitment of musician and artist that are willing to perform for both informal and
formal occasion.
• Open application to host performances, for universities and school and they fund
raised from performance will be used to fund raise the university and the other will
be given to artists that participate.
• Musician may have to bring their own personal instrument has we are providing
sound system equipment.
• And contract set to support health and care centre through music performance's

11. Method and strategies
2. Workshop
Could be the best way to tutor and educated people about music and finding out
personal music taste.
This can be done through:
• Music trivia:
where the audience will listen to a set of music, and ask about the genre of music.
• Prizes will be awards at the ends to participant.
3. Interview with artist.
Musician will get the chance to share they experience in music , with audience and other
upcoming musician, which with be helpful for student learning music and other
artist to improve their skills, and create a sense of community.

12. Audience target
We are looking forward to target every generation.
The reason being simply because music is consider to be a universal
language, also because music mean different things to different
people, and also to close the gap between generation.
Just as” nationalism close the gap between music and culture” ( p178)
And also to get a richer understanding of political and aesthetics of
music, and the social and emotional significant of music not only
among young people but as well as old.(hesmondhalgh)
I do belief tat bring music to a smaller group of people. Will “ help
them cope with , transform, or even resist, the disruptive, harmful
aspects of growing global market and issue” (p127)

13. Music style
Style of music approach will totally depend of people, genre of music and
location of performance.
and the artist ability to performed. Since we can’t really says that there is a
particular genre of music to Newcastle. However by doing such a
performance, we are looking forward to actually find out and gives newcastle
an identity to genre of music. And also explore the genre of music that do
exist already in hewcastle.

14. Conclusion
Newcastle as a city have a lot to over as a community not only locally
but as well as internationally. Therefore grants an application to
promotes upcoming generation of music to Newcastle will be a great
opportunity, for Newcastle to share their culture which each other and
the rest of the world.
