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.
LIVE AT THE REBEL

Featuring Chloe Gill, with special support from Lucy Beveridge, alongside a line-up of emerging TDP young artists.
For more than 30 years, TDP has been an incubator for Australian music, helping launch the careers of some of the country’s most celebrated performers while developing each new generation of artists.
Tonight, we’re excited to introduce The Circuit — TDP’s new all-ages live music series bringing together the next wave of NSW artists and connecting artists and audiences across regional NSW and Sydney supported by SoundNSW.
A New Chapter for TDP!
TDP is now based at the Australian Theatre for Young People on Pier 2/3 in Sydney’s Walsh Bay Arts Precinct — placing young artists at the heart of Australia’s professional creative landscape.
Together with ATYP, we’re creating a home for the next generation of Australian artists to develop, connect and thrive.
