19 October 2025

Now in its annual season, Keys for Cure brings together over 100 young musicians – including talented pianists, string players, and dancers – from across New Zealand. Across three concerts in one day, audiences will enjoy dazzling solo recitals, chamber music, and dance showcases that celebrate creativity and community spirit.

This year’s theme, “From Minor Keys to Major Change,” reflects our mission: to transform the power of music into tangible impact for children’s health. Importantly, all net proceeds – including ticket sales, sponsorships, and charity art auctions – will be donated in full to Starship Children’s Hospital, helping young patients and their families receive the best possible care.

Each concert features a unique program, culminating in an evening gala with outstanding performances and the presentation of certificates to participating students. Meanwhile, the Q Lounge will host an exhibition of children’s artwork, creating a vibrant space for art, imagination, and giving.

Join us for this extraordinary event where artistry meets compassion. By attending, you are not only enjoying an unforgettable day of music but also directly supporting Starship and making a real difference for children in need.
