New Zealand Music Month
May 2007
Various venues
New Zealand Music Month is a celebration of New Zealand music. It focuses media and
public attention on local musical talent.
The music industry is of particular economic importance to Auckland city as
it is the home of major record companies, live music performance venues, and music
video production houses.
Music performances and celebrations through free
public events help build strong communities. We were responsible for producing and organising 35 free
Music in Parks concerts in 2006/2007. This programme, along with other events
with a music component such as Pasifika Festival, is important in providing a
platform for our emerging local talents. We are proud to
have provided this support to the local industry for over a decade.
Auckland is a hub for New Zealand's
creative industries,
including music. We are proud to support New Zealand Music Month through our
libraries programme,
and to sponsor the New Zealand Music Awards
for the fourth time this October.
We will also continue to support the local industry
through our programme of free music events.
