This key SOUNZ project, in partnership with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and Radio New Zealand Concert, produces new recordings of orchestral music for public broadcast and streaming on our website.
Entry procedure -
- SOUNZ Centre for New Zealand Music calls for score submissions from Fully Represented SOUNZ composers and convenes a selection panel. Entry forms and information sheet are available here.
- From the submitted scores the panel will select up to 80 minutes of works to be performed by the NZSO and recorded by Radio New Zealand Concert during February 2015. SOUNZ acknowledges the generous support of Radio New Zealand Concert and the NZSO for this project.
- This call for submissions for the 2015 NZSO-SOUNZ-RNZC Recordings closes on 12 June 2014. The successful applicants will be announced in August 2014, and must have submitted their finalised score & parts to SOUNZ by 31 October 2014.
Once the recording dates have been announced, and the pieces recorded, Radio New Zealand Concert sound engineers will then take on the exacting task of editing the recordings for future broadcast and release.
