Our unique education revolution, YoungBlue, has also had a makeover!

If you don't already know, YoungBlue is our initiative which started in 2008, with a vision to provide young musicians from major cities and rural towns an opportunity to learn and play with DeepBlue as we toured around the country for the first time!

We invited local musicians (YoungBlues) from each destination to engage in workshops before joining us on stage for a song to show off their new skills. DeepBlue have now conducted these workshops for thousands of young musicians across Australia, the United States and Asia.

Check out the range of workshops we offer at:

Things are looking a little different around here!

Things are looking a little different around here! Some of you may have been with us since the very start, and if you have, you will know that the concept of DeepBlue is constantly innovating and evolving. This last year has been quiet for so many arts and events organisations across the world, but in some ways, it has allowed space for introspection and the time and energy needed for us to pour over who we are and what we offer to the world.

So, we decided it was time to give DeepBlue a refresh! Today we are thrilled to share our new look and feel, with the launch of our website and fresh DeepBlue and YoungBlue design. The DeepBlue team has been working for over a year with artists, designers and tech wizards to refine and bring forth the next iteration of DeepBlue!

Huge thank you to Chris Mangos Design as well as Dan and his team at Sol Technology for all their hard work in bringing our vision to life. Check it out and let us know what you think!

DeepBlue perform Song to the Ocean on July 29 & 30 for #herveybaywhalefestival #deepblueorchestra #contemporaryclassical #butchulla

Hello DeepBlue friends, We have been a little quie

Hello DeepBlue friends, We have been a little quiet on social media of late as we all adjust and cope with what 2020 has been throwing our way. We hope you have been keeping well and staying connected through the global pandemic that followed the devastation of the bush fires. Standing together is so important through all this, and as the Black Lives Matter movement grows, we want you to know we are listening, learning and sending love and strength to everyone who is struggling at this time.

As a group of musicians who thrive on stepping outside of classical music, often incorporating electronica, rock and many other genres, we truly value the role that black musicians have played in the origins of the music we love and perform today.

We also want to acknowledge that DeepBlue is based on Turrbal and Jagera land. We greatly appreciate the opportunities we have had so far to work and collaborate with Indigenous artists through projects, like the incredible innovator and musician, Tjupurru (pictured here), and Indigenous youth arts organisation, Digi Youth Arts, during 'Our Place' last year. We aim to continuously learn from, support, and elevate the voices and stories of Indigenous artists in the best ways we can.

If you have recently discovered any great black or Indigenous artists, please post them below! We'd love to check them out! 📸 by Maria Eliza-Day
