championing equal access for extraordinary young musicians

TDP has been an amazing platform for collaboration and helping me build confidence as an artist. It has given me a way to connect with fellow musicians, as well as learning from some of the best industry professionals.

Talent at Walsh Bay Arts Precinct: A New Chapter Begins!

TDP has entered an exciting new chapter! As part of this transformation, we have moved our operations to the world-class facilities of the Australian Theatre for Young People on Pier 2/3, within Sydney’s harbour-side Walsh Bay Arts Precinct. This move supports our long-term vision of placing young artists in the heart of Australia’s professional creative landscape surrounded by leading performing arts organisations, industry mentors, and creative partners. We’re grateful for the Australian Theatre for Young People’s partnership, together we’re creating an incubator for Australia’s next generation of artists.
