About Trans-Tasman Composer Exchange Residencies
The Australian Music Centre, in collaboration with SOUNZ, the Centre for New Zealand Music, established the Trans-Tasman composer exchange residency in 2003 to further develop music relationships between the two countries.
The residency exchanges offers significant opportunities for composers and sound artists to spend between six weeks and two months with a leading professional performing ensemble. The collaboration enables artists to develop a new work and participate in seminars, workshops and other activities, giving them vital experience and exposure as musicians.
