The 2026 Keys for Cure Charity Concert is the annual flagship event presented by Keys for Cure Charity, a New Zealand registered charity dedicated to supporting youth mental wellbeing through the power of the arts.
- Date: 23 August 2026
- Venue: The iconic Under the Dome venue at the Auckland War Memorial Museum. With its elegant architecture, impressive dome structure, and strong cultural significance, the venue provides a memorable setting for this meaningful concert.
- The Instrument: To deliver an exceptional musical experience, the event will feature a Fazioli concert grand piano valued at around NZD 380,000. Renowned for its refined tone, responsive touch, and outstanding craftsmanship, it offers young performers a rare opportunity to perform on a world-class instrument.
- Program: The concert will bring together talented young musicians and present four carefully curated concert sessions throughout the day. Through their performances, they will not only share their talent with the community but also use music to express care, hope, and social responsibility.
In 2026, Keys for Cure Charity will further strengthen its focus on youth mental wellbeing through a new initiative: the Children’s Mental Wellbeing Support Salon.
- This programme aims to provide children with a safe and supportive space where they can be heard and valued.
- It offers families practical tools for emotional wellbeing, communication, and support within the family environment.
- Proceeds from the concert will support this initiative, helping more children and families access meaningful mental wellbeing support.
The 2026 Keys for Cure Charity Concert is more than a musical event. It is a community initiative that connects music, charity, education, and social impact. Through this concert, we hope to encourage young people to use their talents for good, raise awareness of youth mental wellbeing, and bring warmth, hope, and support to the next generation in New Zealand.
