As you're reading the final SOUNZ news for 2016, Executive Director Diana Marsh looks back at the year... Dear Friends,
With our second year in Creative New Zealand’s Toi Tōtara Haemata arts leadership programme coming to an end, I am again excited and impressed by the contribution our funders, partners, staff and supporters have made to New Zealand music being heard wide and loud.
Through our work we have engaged with a variety of arts organisations and presenters, composers and musicians, music educators and more, again demonstrating the strengths of New Zealand music in our community. Read more on our website...
The SOUNZ office is closed for Christmas from Friday 23 December 12pm until Monday 9 January 2017.
You can make purchases online, though packaging & postage will be processed from 9 January and we will not be able to answer any enquiries during the closure period.
SOUNZ user survey 2016
It is the end of our second year as Creative New Zealand’s Toi Tōtara Haemata (Arts Leadership) organisation and we again ask for your input as a user of SOUNZ's services.
Please take a few minutes to answer the questionnaire, which will help us to improve our services to all those interested in New Zealand music. You can also take part in a competition to win a $50 SOUNZ voucher. Thank you.
