Rakan Muzik: Youth Brass 2025 is a 3-day immersive experience designed for young brass musicians of all levels, from beginners to advanced players, who want to improve their musicianship. Led by renowned brass artists from Malaysia and beyond, participants will explore ensemble playing, hone their technical abilities, and cultivate greater musical expression and confidence.
Limited to 40 participants, the workshop provides an engaging learning environment. Through masterclasses, rehearsals and performance opportunities, participants will connect with like-minded peers, gain valuable artistic insights and experience the joy of collaborative music-making.
Rakan Muzik: Youth Brass is an initiative powered by Ministry of Youth and Sports (KBS) through its Rakan Muda programme and in collaboration with Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Sunway University.
This initiative is designed primarily for youth under 30, but participants of all ages are welcome to register.
