Auckland City of Music (ACOM) is pleased to be announcing the inaugural Music Advisory Board | Te Rūnanga Mātanga Puoro.

"The Trust was overwhelmed with the number of applications we received, and it was heartening to see such a keen interest shown by an incredibly high standard of applicants," says Auckland City of Music Director Mark Roach. "We are confident
that the members selected reflect the breadth and diversity of the region's music ecosystem and we look forward to working with them over the coming months."

The Board is further strengthened by the addition of Council Ally Members. This ensures efficient communication and connection between the music sector and Auckland Council, whilst achieving the best possible outcomes that contribute to the growth and success of Auckland as a City of Music.
