In ANZAC week 2018 we shared Resound films from recent years about or related to New Zealand’s involvement in war. You can view a comprehensive list of works dealing with the subject of war .

Jeroen Speak is nominated for the 2017 Award for the second time with Serendipity Fields, for violin, cello, piano and guzheng.

Chris Gendall, who won the SOUNZ Contemporary Award in 2008 with Wax Lyrical, is nominated for the fifth time with Incident Tableaux Part One, an excerpt from an opera in one act.

Salina Fisher, whose work Rainphase won the SOUNZ Contemporary Award in 2016, is nominated for the second time with Tōrino - echoes on pūtōrino improvisations by Rob Thorne, for string quartet.

In 2015, SOUNZ facilitated the Westlake Symphony Orchestra Recordings, a project to record and promote New Zealand orchestral works suitable for school and non-professional orchestras. This has expanded to an annual event that includes filming of the performance. Video of all the works recorded so far can be found below.

You can also view a general list of suggested repertoire for amateur and youth orchestras here.
