Exclusive Program Offers Children and Youth-Focused Charities Hands-On Experience in a Professional Studio Setting
NASHVILLE – February 26, 2025 – Gold Pacific Studios, a Nashville-based recording studio located in the heart of Berry Hill, and Festival of Children Foundation, a nonprofit organization that works year-round to improve the lives of children by strengthening the charities that serve them, announced today a partnership to host 10 free recording studio sessions at Gold Pacific Studios giving youth-focused nonprofit organizations the opportunity to access professional music recording and songwriting experiences.
