Music News - All Star Line Up Confirmed for APRA Silver Scroll Awards
16 September 2006 - 0 Comments
An all-star line up will play at next week’s APRA Silver Scroll Awards, but just who the organisers have chosen to perform on the night remains a much-guarded secret.
Next Wednesday (20th), the Auckland Town Hall hosts the first big night of New Zealand’s musical calendar – and it promises to deliver.
More than fifty of New Zealand’s finest musicians, under the musical directorship of composers Victoria Kelly and Joost Langeveld, will perform their interpretations of the finalist songs – a feature unique to the Silver Scroll Awards.
“Outstanding guest performers, with different versions of the finalist songs, is part of what make the awards so extraordinary,” says Ant Healey APRA’s Director of NZ Operations.
“This year there are definitely some exciting performances in store and a few extra surprises too… we can’t wait.”
The finalists for the 2006 APRA Silver Scroll Award are –
Dann Hume, Jon Hume, Peter Hume (Evermore) – ‘Running’
James Milne (Lawrence Arabia and The Reduction Agents) – ‘The Pool’
Don McGlashan – ‘Bathe in the River’
Don McGlashan – ‘Miracle Sun’
Anika Moa– ‘Stolen Hill’
“The point of these performances is to bring out aspects of the songs that the writers and the audience haven’t heard before,” says Musical Director Victoria Kelly.
“Because the Silver Scroll is a song writing award, it’s so great to be able to enhance other musical aspects of that song and show how, musically, it can translate into other styles.”
The Silver Scroll Award, New Zealand's most prestigious music award, has been presented since 1965. Also presented on the night are the SOUNZ Contemporary Award, recognising creative excellence by a NZ classical composer and the APRA Maioha Award, presented for the best Maori song in Te Reo of the year.
The Most Performed Work Overseas Award and the Most Performed Work in New Zealand Award will also be presented on the night.APRA is a non-profit organisation administering the rights of the world’s composers, songwriters and publishers in Australasia. APRA represents over 42,000 writers and publishers through direct membership, with close to 6,000 members, and over 2 million writers and publishers throughout the world under reciprocal agreements with other service organisations.
