Ahead of the election, it is vital that all parties recognise the huge cultural and economic potential that music can offer the state, provided it is given considered support. We urge all parties to follow suit so music in NSW can flourish.” On Monday ARIA and PPCA joined industry colleagues to unveil a list of key requests ahead of the election and call for pre-election commitments to contemporary music.
