APRA Silver Scrolls 2015 Live Performances
On Thursday 17 September, songwriters from all over Aotearoa came together to celebrate their craft at the 50th APRA Silver Scrolls awards.
As part of the big birthday celebrations, music directors Godfrey De Grut and Cherie Mathieson employed an orchestra to accompany the finalists' pieces, performed, as has become tradition, as cover versions. Andre Upston was on deck to capture those performances.
