Congratulation to the Melbourne String Academy and its founder, Diana Wuli, on receipt of the Creative Victoria, Victorian Music Industry Recovery Program grant for the Virtual Music Connect (VMC) program! Virtual Music Connect is a community outreach pilot program initiative of the Melbourne String Academy addressing two issues arising from Stay-at-Home restrictions; increased social isolation for residents of aged care facilities, and the loss of opportunities, income, and a sense of purpose for musicians, through live-online music performances and events by local Victorian artists to underserved and vulnerable communities, specifically residents of aged care facilities. Grant Strategies, LLC is honored to have Melbourne String Academy as a client, and proud to have assisted VMC with securing vital funding for this amazing program!

Virtual Music Connect is a program of the Melbourne String Academy and is supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria.
