RNZ Concert will continue to bring beautiful live music to you, wherever you are while concert halls are closed and audiences staying at home. Music Alive gives you the best seat in the house.

“While most people must stay at home for the foreseeable future, they’ll still hunger for contact by other means. Music remains a vital force at this time. It can bring us together and lift our spirits. While NZSO players and staff players are at home they’ll still be active, as technology means we can still connect to make music and present it to the nation.” Peter Biggs, Interim CEO of NZSO.
