Bought to you by the Hamilton Community Arts Council
September 14-20th
Meteor Theatre, Victoria Street, Hamilton
Music in Hamilton is booming and there are multiple artists based in the area doing extremely well both nationally and internationally. With this promise of success comes a need for other aspiring musicians to learn effective ways to distribute, pay, sell and teach themselves. Tempo’s aim is to give musicians the tools and knowledge to do this.
Tempo is the only workshop series of its kind run in Hamilton, and provides opportunities for learning, networking, training and the sharing of information towards professional development. Tempo assists musicians and local industry practitioners in making the Waikato an even more viable force in the NZ music industry and has helped with assisting some local acts to attain international success.
During Tempo speakers from key music industries provide seminars and workshops for both the budding and experienced musician. On top of that this year we are producing and launching Hamilton’s latest compilation CD ‘Area 07’ which features Hamilton’s finest on one disc. This will be launched during Tempo week with a ‘CD Release Gig’ featuring several of the Hamilton acts who have songs on the CD.
