17 April 2009 - 0 Comments
The Australian Performing Right Association are more than pleased to announce - for the first time in the awards history - the APRA Silver Scroll Awards are to be held in Christchurch.
"The APRA Silver Scroll Awards are an extraordinary celebration of music." Says APRA's Director of NZ Operations, Anthony Healey. "We want share this experience with as many APRA members as possible around New Zealand. Christchurch, with its proud music tradition, will be an excellent venue for this big night out."
"Christchurch is delighted to be hosting the APRA Silver Scroll Awards for the first time," Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker says. "As a city we are cultivating our musical industry. We want to encourage our musical talent to base themselves in our city and so enrich our cultural core. This event totally aligns with the council funded CHART: Christchurch Music Industry Trust, who advocate Christchurch as a hub for musicians. For us to now be involved with the Silver Scroll Awards further demonstrates the value of music in our city," Bob Parker says.
Presented since 1965 the Silver Scroll Award is New Zealand's pre-eminent songwriting award; alongside the APRA Maioha Award and the SOUNZ Contemporary Award recognising outstanding compositions in both Maori and Classical music; nods to the Most Performed Works here and overseas; and another surprise induction to the New Zealand Music Hall Of Fame; the APRA Silver Scroll Awards recognise the creative excellence of our songwriters & composers.
This highly anticipated invitation only evening includes one-of-a-kind performances. Each of the Silver Scroll finalists and the winners of Maioha & SOUNZ have their work covered by another artist. These special collaborations and performances are what make the Awards so unique. It's an unparalleled chance for musicians to relax, confer and celebrate with peers and industry alike - undoubtedly the music industry's favourite night out.
APRA would not be able to bring the Awards to Christchurch without the support of the following partners: the Christchurch City Council, Vbase, CHART: Christchurch Music Industry Trust & HotelSO.
