Calling all songwriters!
The University of Tasmania welcomes songwriters at all stages of their practice (or anyone who is just curious) to come along and learn a little bit about UTAS' Songwriting Program.
Tour our amazing building, sit in on an industry panel and maybe even play a song for us at our Songwriter Workshop.
Please enter via The University of Tasmania entrance to The Hedberg at 19 Collins Street and you'll be directed where to go for each event.
