MAA is a non-profit organisation founded and incorporated as a charitable entity in 2003. Our members are ethnic Chinese from China , Hong Kong, and Taiwan plus a number of Pakeha, Koreans & Indians. We aim to use music as a bridge to enhance communication amongst members, to take part in music activities, to reinforce, support and heighten opportunities of music participation in our communities. We also provide a platform, through music, for new migrants to integrate with people of the mainstream community. The Association is devoted to developing diversity of different cultures in New Zealand .

MAA have a group of loyal committee members who are the backbone of our organisation. For a non-profit group that relies on volunteers, the team-work between these members is integral to progress and to maintain a good relationship with our community. In 2006 we initiated the Quartet Composition Competition for young composers in collaboration with the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra, and in 2007-8 we organized a concert, sponsored by Asia New Zealand Foundation and Creative Communities NZ Auckland City, combining western and Chinese/ Indian musical instruments, a new concept for young composers under twenty years old in our communities. In 2009 we are delighted to work with Manukau Symphony Orchestra to mark the monumental 70th-year milestone of the “Yellow River Cantata” which is a very successful celebration concert! In May 2011 invited to participate at 2 “Journey” concerts at Town Hall and Telstraclear Pacific Event Centre were most memorable experiences with Auckland Choral and The Manukau Symphony Orchestra.

Our main sponsors are from COGS [ Auckland , Waitakere and Manukau City ], various charitable Trust Funds, MAA members and friends, and local business organisations.

MAA welcomes you to join our association and support our local musicians!

是一個政府註冊的非營利團體，成立於 2003 年，聚集了一羣旅居新西蘭的華人音樂家和音樂愛好者。他們來自中國大陸、香港、及臺灣等地，也有一些新西蘭人，韓國人和印度人，經常在一起切磋技藝，舉辦活動。協會不僅給大家提供展示藝術的舞臺，豐富華人的多元文化生活， 我們更幫助大家溶入主流社會。 奧克蘭音樂協會堅持以音樂為紐帶和橋樑，加強團員之間，特別是新移民之間的交流，促進與不同族群和社區的融合，為新西蘭多元文化的發展盡一份责任。

我們有一羣忠心於協會的委員，是 MAA 的骨幹與支柱，對非營利團體是很重要，對社區發展更需要吧！

2006 年 奧克蘭音樂協會創辨了東方及西洋樂器四重奏 作曲比賽，與 奧克蘭愛樂樂團合辨， 給年青作曲家一個新嘗試。 2007-8 年 更 得到 Asia NZ Foundation 和 Creative Communities NZ Auckland City 的支持成功舉辦音樂會。 2009 年我們很榮幸與曼努考交響樂團合作演出 “ 黃河大合唱 ” 這 不朽 音樂作品的七十周年慶典，盛況空前！ 2011 年 5 月被奧克蘭歌唱團及曼努考交響樂團邀請，在奧克蘭市政音樂廳及 Telstraclear Pacific Event Centre 的兩塲 “Journey” 演出，我們得到了難忘的經驗及美好回憶。
