New President: We have elected Richard Breed as President of NZCBA.
At this point it is appropriate to acknowledge and thank Anthony Yelavich who served at as President since 2021. He has achieved significant milestones, especially in constitutional reform. Our new constitution should guide the Association for decades to come. It is transparent and direct, and complies with all new legislation. Anthony lead the Association with a calm and considered manner, using his love of music making and knowledge of corporate law to make sensible and positive decisions. Thank you, Anthony, for your guidance and service. Go well in your future work over in UK, but please come back!
NZYSW: What’s On?
The New Zealand Youth Symphonic Winds is our national representative ensemble for young concert band players to develop their music skills and education. We come together twice a year to help foster an environment where young kiwis from all backgrounds and corners of the country can flourish, engage with other like-minded individuals, and gain exposure to top professionals in the music industry.
Meet the talented conductors who will be taking the NZYSW Winter Intensive in Nelson in July, 2024! See our page for more info!
Our Winter Intensive will conclude with two concerts. We invite you to come along and listen to these performances! More info can be found here.
