It concentrates, primarily, on the classical music scene. The thesis examines the difficulties experienced by musical organisations, individual musicians, and teachers as they sought to bring music to the broken city, together with the measures that were necessary in order to overcome those difficulties. It examines how those organisations have worked to re-establish themselves in their particular musical fields. It charts the progress made, to date, along the path to recovery and offers suggestions regarding precautionary measures which, if instituted, could reduce the after-effects of a future disaster. Recognising that not all of the difficulties encountered were directly related to the earthquakes, this thesis also examines the effects on music and musicians, of decision making associated with the recovery effort. The thesis also demonstrates how a destructive event can provide the inspiration for creativity. It recognises the importance of music in maintaining a sense of normality for people, whether they realise it or not, as well as its influences in providing emotional relief in times of stress. Hopefully, it may become a useful guide to which other cities that may be faced with some natural disaster, could refer. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to acknowledge the contribution of the representatives of the many organisations researched in this thesis. Without their generous assistance and co- operation the thesis could never have been undertaken. To all those who have granted interviews, and provided the information upon which the thesis is based, I wish to extend my grateful thanks. Their experiences over the two and a half years since the September 2010, earthquake have, at times, been painful, and to have to re-visit those experiences in order to give a complete picture of how the earthquakes have affected their lives has not been easy. I respect their confidences and appreciate the trust that they have placed in me.
