CANZ
activities
- We
maintain contact with various organisations such as SOUNZ
(The Centre for NZ Music), the New
Zealand Symphony Orchestra, Concert
FM, RIANZ, Creative
New Zealand and the Government.
- We
are members of various international organisations, such as the Asian
Composers League and the International
Society for Contemporary Music, and we ensure that there is a
New Zealand presence at the international festivals run by these organisations.
- We
make contributions to events such as the Nelson
Composers Workshop, with help from Creative New Zealand and APRA.
- We
help out with specific projects, such as the transferral of Lilburn's
electronic works to CD, or administering a New Zealand-Korea musical
exchange.
- We
maintain a website of useful information for composers (www.canz.net.nz)
- We
present two awards every year: the KBB Citation for Services to New
Zealand Music, and the CANZ Trust Fund Award.
- We
also make contributions to the composition community through our "behind-the-scenes"
work, such as mediating in disputes, writing letters of support for
various projects and making submissions on items of policy (such as
music curricula).

How
CANZ is organised
- The
committee comprises nine members, three each from the Northern region,
Central region and Southern region. The committee positions also include
the President, Secretary and Treasurer. Elections for the committee
are held at the Annual General Meeting, which usually occurs during
March/April of each year.
- CANZ
members are encouraged to vote, either in person at the AGM,
or by
using the proxy form that comes with the February issue of Canzonetta.
- CANZ
members are also encouraged to put their name forward for consideration
whenever vacancies on the committee are open.
