Enviro-Vision Song Quest
June 25, 2008 « Previous Page — Next Page »
Talented youngsters from throughout the county borough are taking part in a musical showcase to voice their commitment to recycling and improving the environment.
The second Enviro-Vision Song Quest will take place at the Muni Arts Centre, Pontypridd on Monday July 7th at 7.15pm and include bands from six comprehensive schools within Rhondda Cynon Taf.
Each of the bands will perform a song which has its very own “green theme”, including recycling, dog fouling, flytipping and graffiti. The shortlist of bands to perform in this special showcase has now been drawn up and groups from Y Pant, Hawthorn and Tonyrefail Comprehensive Schools along with Pontypridd High, Tonypandy Community College and Ysgol Gyfun Rhydywaun will take to the stage on the big night.
Each of the entrants will receive a certificate as a token of appreciation for supporting this very important initiative whilst the winner will receive £600, second place will receive £300 and the third place will receive £100. The prize money was donated by South Wales Police because of the eco crime an quality of life issues covered n the song.
This will mark the second joint-project between the Council’s Streetcare Services Team and Sonig Youth Music Industry which is part of Cultural Services.
During last year’s Enviro-Vision Song Quest around 70 youngsters became involved in the project which saw them attend workshops to write lyrics, compose music and actually record their individual songs over a two-day period. With the help of music tutors from the Council, the aim of the project was to raise awareness of environmental issues.
Tickets for the concert are now on sale for £2.50 from the Muni Arts Centre Box Office on 01443 485934.
