Hot news! We are very excited to announce that CMST will be taking on the role of delivering Amplified 2011!

While the festival program will be a lot leaner than of years past, it will be more targeted and more of a celebration of Tassie music than ever before. Amplified will be held from August 17 to 21.

We are looking forward to championing Amplified and creating opportunities for our local music community to gain valuable exposure and to acknowledge and celebrate the achievements of Tasmanian artists and art workers.

The passing of the Amplified baton from Arts Tasmania to CMST is a significant moment and acknowledges the committed work of our Board and Program Officer over the past 16 months to construct solid foundations for the organisation. We have taken a thorough approach to planning and coordinating our current core programs to ensure we can be in an effective position to deliver high quality services to the Tasmanian music community.

The addition of Amplified to our roster of programs is another step to securing the long term future of CMST and establishing an organised supportive infrastructure and voice for Tasmanian music.

We would like to congratulate the showcase grant recipients who will be organising an array of events to be held during Amplified.

Keep in touch by signing up to our email newsletter or follow us on Facebook or Twitter. We’ll be announcing more details regarding the Amplified program over the coming weeks.

See you during Amplified!
