Nelson Winter Music Festival

WHERE IT ALL STARTED....

17 years ago in 1994 the Nelson School of Music Centennial Festival was spectacularly launched to celebrate 100 years of the School's history.

The Centennial Festival was one of the most extravagant Festivals that Nelson had seen and today we strive bring you a programme of musical excellence and a programme that will appeal to as broad an audience as possible.

Over the years the festival has featured some of the biggest names in New Zealand's musical history

• Dame Malvina Major
• Michael Houstoun
• Tim Finn
• Dave Dobbyn
• The Black Seeds
• The Pheonix Foundation
• Kora
• Moana & the Moa Hunters
• Mike Nock
• Shona Laing
• Malcolm McNeill
• Golden Horse
• Hello Sailor

............to name a few.

Over the years the Festival has changed and developed - the auditorium can now be set for dancing or cabaret - whatever suits the mood of the show.

We continue the tradition of bringing the finest of New Zealand and local talent to the Festival.
