Saltbox Studios, in association with RDU 98.5FM, is presenting a 2022 programme of activities incorporating recording, performance, and hospitality services primarily for musicians, but also the greater industry.

Their aim is to improve advice and advocacy and to be responsive to the developing needs of artists, venues, community facilities and support networks across the country.

The programme will include a monthly rotation of these music-related activities.

• Music & Sound Subsidy: Enabling access for Ōtautahi musicians at Saltbox – with support from the Christchurch City Council
• Synthonics: A electronic synthesis workshop series hosted by Dr Jason Long of Avon Synths – with support from the NZ Music Commission
• Soundplant: Developing community resilience for musicians within Ōtautahi – with support from Manatū Taonga
• Hearing Now: Developing opportunities for rangitahi to access skills and expertise to develop musical confidence and capability – with support from Rata Foundation

The programme will be held at the rehearsal spaces formerly known as BeatBox in central Ōtautahi, Christchurch.

Applications to the Music and Sound subsidy programme and Synthonics are now open.
