Centre for NZ Music (SOUNZ), Wellington/ National
The SOUNZ Community Commission is an annual project administered by SOUNZ, the Centre for New Zealand Music. It allows a community group to work with a professional composer in a creative collaboration that results in the performance of new music in the following year. Through the generosity of an anonymous overseas benefactor up to $1500 is available for the composer to create the new work.
Applications for the 2006 SOUNZ Community Commission close on Friday 30 June. Further information is available from: www.sounz.org.nz/projects/projects-CommComm.php; by phoning 04 801 8602 or by e-mail: info@sounz.org.nz.
“The proposals can come from either the Community Groups, or the composers themselves,” Scilla Askew, Executive Director of SOUNZ comments. “ It is always exciting to see the range of proposed projects each year. The SOUNZ Community Commission is all about bringing professional composers and community musicians together. Not only do both these parties benefit in the process, but also, when the result is performed, the audience share in the energy and vitality that is engendered in the commissioning of new music.”
