Share Your Music at the Royal Children's Hospital

 The Royal Children's Hospital is excited to introduce our Main Street Music Program, bringing live music into the heart of our hospital community.

 We are seeking talented musicians and performers who wish to volunteer their time to help create a welcoming, uplifting and engaging atmosphere for patients, families, visitors and staff. Through the power of music, we aim to enhance the hospital experience by providing moments of comfort, connection and enjoyment throughout the day.

 We welcome performers from all musical backgrounds and cultures and encourage applications from individuals and groups of all sizes. Whether your style is classical, acoustic, jazz, folk, cultural, contemporary or something uniquely your own, we would love to hear from you.

 Performance Opportunities

 Performers may express interest in either:

• Regular scheduled performances
• One-off special performances

 Performances will take place on Main Street (Ground Floor, the main hospital entrance and walkway area) within the hospital (not in clinical or ward areas).

 Your Music

• Enjoyable for people of all ages and backgrounds

 Performance sessions should generally run for a minimum of 30 minutes and may be up to 2 hours in duration.
