CANZ Composers Workshop

CANZ is pleased to announce the dates and location for two major events: the 2025 CANZ Composers Workshop, and the 2025 CANZ Composers Conference. Both events will take place at the School of Music, University of Auckland, Tāmaki Makaurau.

The annual Composers Workshop will run from Wednesday 3 – Friday 5 September, with the closing concert on the evening of Friday 5 September. 

The Conference will take place on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 September. With the theme “Composing the Present: Challenges and Opportunities,” the Conference is open to all CANZ members and will provide the opportunity for collective reflection on the unique demands and possibilities of creating music here and now.

These events are presented by CANZ with the support of Creative New Zealand and the University of Auckland.
