Using the extensive contacts built up by the Director over the past 15 years, China Stars Events can also offer via your chosen travel agent bespoke tailor made experiences that cater for sporting and musical/choir groups.

China Stars Events is an event organiser that works in conjunction with your chosen travel agent. We do not organise your flights for you - our speciality is organising your on ground experience. China Stars Events will only work in conjunction with a travel agent licensed in your country and will direct any enquiries about travel arrangements back to them.

Why come to one of our events??

Over the years the organisers of China Stars Events have been involved with many successful annual international school age events. With a long background in education followed by 15 years of event experience we know

- what young people are looking for ( fun, socialising, meeting people from other countries, seeing and visiting things not available in their home country and being engaged by experts in their field );

- what teachers/conductors are looking for ( learning from leading music educators, good quality performance venues, education enhancement, building group cohesiveness );

- what parents are looking for ( value for their hard earned money, experiences for their children that help broaden their view of the world, safety and care ).

Our events provide all of these and more. And what better way to get these experiences than by venturing to countries that offer a totally different cultural view of the World

The people

Underlying the success of all the events I have worked on over the past many years has been my commitment to a set of core values focussing on the enhancement of the educational experience and enrichment of the lives of all the young people who attend. Our events bring together young people from diverse cultures, races and religions and from home situations that range from poverty to affluence. Yet the love of music brings them together and enables them to speak a common language and this truly is a wonderful experience at an important formative time of their lives.

I am pleased to present our second international music festival in Beijing. tutti world youth music⁺ beijing promises a week of music and learning plus lots of fun and enjoyment as groups from around the World assemble for this truly historic event. Our artistic Director, Paul Dean has assembled a stellar faculty and we look forward to working with many of them again.

I invite you to come to Beijing in July 2013 and to be part of tutti world youth music⁺ beijing

When appointed to a Brisbane private boys' school in 1997 as its first full time Rugby Director, Peter already had 27 years of experience either as an entrepreneurial businessman, TAFE lecturer, secondary school teacher or representative level rugby coach. Believing that the cultural divides are lost on the sport playing fields, in late 1997 Peter founded an organisation that was eventually to pesent the biggest annual international school age sporting and cultural events in Australia. He opted in 1999 to relinquish the Rugby Director position in favour of the challenge of building this new organisation focusing on enhancing the educational experience for young people around the World. Deciding to move in a new direction to benefit those students who are culturally focused, in 2007 he presented in Brisbane the internationally acclaimed Bonyi International Youth Music Festival.

Peter began his involvement in China in 2004. In early 2008 Peter made a firm decision to pursue the international thread further and independently founded China Stars Events to focus on presenting events in Asia and the sub-continent. It took two years of planning to again present a cultural event this time in Beijing with 2011 marking the successful introduction of tutti world youth music beijing. 2013 will mark Peter's 16th year of presenting international events for over 24000 school age participants and 42 years after he presented his first ever event when at university.

Awarded the Australian Sports Medal in 2000 in recognition of his long contribution to youth sport development, Peter is an Honorary Councillor of the Beijing Association for Promoting International Sports Exchanges and a Fellow of the Institute of Sport Management.
