Nelson Centre of Musical Arts (NCMA)
An internationally renowned community hub for all things musical in the Nelson-Tasman region
What we do
Situated in the heart of Nelson, we offer opportunities to learn an instrument and to rehearse and perform as an individual or as part of a group. We are also a performance venue and our audiences enjoy concerts held in the Nelson School of Music Auditorium and brand new performance space in the Rainey Wing.
Our vision is to be New Zealand’s most vibrant, innovative and accessible music community.
Unique performance venues
We bring world-class musicians to perform in our purpose-built heritage auditorium, which is famous for its fine acoustics. We are also excited to offer the Pastorius-Waller Recital Theatre, an additional performance space in the Rainey Wing – adding another stage for local, national and international musicians to perform on.
Learn and perform at NCMA
Through our growing education programmes, NCMA is committed to making music accessible to as many people in our community as possible.
NCMA has over 65 accredited teachers that we can put you in touch with and an increasing number of classes and performance groups to join – allowing you to begin or restart your own personal musical journey, no matter what your age or ability.
As a community hub, we can help by putting you in touch with other community music groups across the region.
