Institution Notes:
Victoria University was founded in 1897. The School of Music (Te Kōkī) was formed in 2006 from the combination of the Conservatorium of Music at Massey University with the School of Music at Victoria University. The School is based at the Wellington campus but also offers programs at the Albany campus in Auckland and in Palmerston North. The School of Music houses the Adam Concert Room, a 200-seat auditorium with two Steinway pianos and a two-manual classical organ. There are four electronic music studios. An opera is produced each year and there is a flourishing early music program with a growing collection of early instruments as well as a Javanese and a Balinese gamelan. The NZSM Young Musicians Programme was established in 1999. It is a Saturday program offering gifted young musicians training to prepare for future tertiary study in music. It has programs including classical and jazz performance and composition. The Waiteata Music Press associated with the University is the prime publisher of music by New Zealand composers. A National Music Centre is being planned for the City of Wellington, involving the New Zealand School of Music, the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and the Wellington City Council.
