UMT:PLAY is the antidote to the many Pop Idol, star-search shows which seem to dominate popular culture right now. Using professional working musicians, young people who get a space for the school will be asked to pick up their instrument, use their voice but most importantly - take their pen to paper as it’s original composition we are interested in.
At UMT:PLAY, all styles of music are welcome, but enthusiasm is a must.
