4 days to go for my ACF Fundraiser 🇮🇹🎶

It's my day off, but the work doesn't stop.

Today has been spent preparing repertoire and organising music ahead of returning to Italy next month for my European festival debut, along with further lessons and professional development while overseas.

A huge thank you to everyone who has already supported my Australian Cultural Fund fundraiser, we've currently reached $555! With only four days remaining, every contribution and every share genuinely helps.

All donations over $2 are tax deductible.

Here's the link to the fundraiser:

God bless!

Big news everyone! I’ll be making my European festival debut at the Assisi Performing Arts Festival in Italy from June 29 to July 15, 2026.

This is a significant step for me: my first summer program in Europe and an opportunity to continue developing my work internationally. While I’m in Italy, I’ll also be undertaking lessons with Sherman Lowe, which I’m very much looking forward to.

I was unfortunately unsuccessful in a recent grant application, so this opportunity is largely self-funded. I remain fully committed to undertaking it, but I’m reaching out in case anyone is in a position to help ease some of the financial cost.

Donations are tax deductible through the Australian Cultural Fund, and any support is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your support, and if you could share the post around I'd appreciate that too!

God bless,

Nicholas

What a great way to get started with the group, it was a wild ride and I had the privilege of getting to see so much of America!

Incredibly lucky to now have many new brothers and I'm very much looking forward to Germany/Austria!

Another highlight was getting to attend the wedding of my dear friends Stephan and Melaina!

Onto the next: A.M.D.G!
