Ngā Huihuinga Hāpai i ngā Kaitito o Aotearoa

The NZ Composer Sessions is a collaboration between the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, RNZ Concert and SOUNZ Centre for New Zealand Music. The aim is to create high quality new NZ orchestral recordings. 

The project, which started as NZSO-SOUNZ Readings (1998-2011), aimed to increase the performance of orchestral music by New Zealand composers. RNZ joined the project shortly after its conception.  Between 1998-2018, 142 works by 67 composers have been included in the project.
