The Official Music Month Summit returns for 2017 with a new format and a new venue.

This year the Summit will be held at Auckland Museum in the Auditorium on Saturday May 20, which is also the last weekend of the acclaimed Volume – Making Music in Aotearoa Exhibition.

Titled FOR THE LOVE OF MUSIC – Industry Professionals Talk Their Passion, 15 Music Professionals or Artists will talk about how music has inspired or changed their lives.

Presented in blocks of four speakers, there will be a Q&A session after each block.

Speakers include:

Aroha Harawira - DJ, David Ridler - Head of Music and Radio, NZ On Air, Greg Haver – Music Producer, Kings - Musician, Mark Roach – Recorded Music NZ, Mikee Tucker – Loop Recordings, Mitch Lowe – Audiology Touring, Moana Maniapoto – Musician, Peter Dickens - NZ Music Foundation, Scott Maclachlan - Saiko Management, Simon Banks – SB Global Entertainment, Tyna Keelan – Musician and Victoria Kelly – APRA AMCOS
