In partnership with RNZ Concert and with funding from NZ On Air, we produce high-quality films of music by New Zealand composers and then strategically promote these on our digital platforms. These films are of both live concerts and studio sessions performed throughout the country and are of performances of New Zealand's leading music organisations and performers. There are currently over 1,300 films on our YouTube channel.

Providing resources

Performers, presenters and school and music teachers have access to numerous resources on the SOUNZ website. Our animations and podcasts provide engaging audio and visual content for learning purposes, on subjects seldom found on mainstream sites.

Podcasts 

Podcasts tell the stories of Aotearoa New Zealand Māori, Pacific and Western music.  Our podcasts have been broadcast or are scheduled for broadcast on Radio New Zealand’s two networks RNZ National and RNZ Concert, and a selection are available on RNZ’s website.
