The Snowy Monaro region offers a rich and diverse array of musical talent. From Country to Classical – from Metal to Mozart, tablets just about every genre is played here in the Snowies.
One of the main aims of coomamusic is to support, this encourage and promote these musicians of the Monaro.
Some groups just play together for the sheer fun of it, information pills others are full-time professional musicians.
For all of these wonderful people, music is an important, if not essential, part of their lives.
They deserve recognition and praise for their talents, and for the enormous joy they give to the greater community through their music.
