Music Therapy Week 2025 runs from the 10-15 April, this year with the theme “Meaningful Moments in Music Therapy – Celebrating Diverse Communities across Aotearoa”. The aim is to shine a light on the ways music therapy creates connection, supports wellbeing and brings joy to people.

RNZ Concert’s David Morriss spoke with Renata Kuswanto, a Neurologic Music Therapist at Southern Music Therapy in Christchurch, about how she draws on her training as a classical pianist in her work.
