The 2010 ISCM World New Music Days presenters – the Aurora Festival and the Sydney Conservatorium of Music – will present works from each of the 52 ISCM Member sections alongside music of the Asia-Pacific region of which Australia is a part. Selected submissions will be played by Australia’s top performers – both established ensembles and emerging artists, within the overall focus on chamber and choral music.

The events with New Zealand music content are listed below. Details of the full programme for the festival are available on the event’s comprehensive website.

The presenters say:
‘The world has changed immensely since the inception of the International Society for Contemporary Music in 1922 in Salzburg. For the first time in the history of this prestigious organization, its showcase of musical excellence, the World New Music Days, will be held in the Southern Hemisphere: in Sydney, Australia.’

“Music should both reflect and shape the diversity of culture and artistic practice in the world. The 2010 World New Music Days is searching for vital, engaging and interesting music in all its forms both within and beyond the art music tradition.”
