Matariki with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra
About this event
Kua haehae ngā hihi o Matariki’ - The rays of Matariki shine brightly in a time of darkness to bring us together with hope for the future. As winter begins in the South, we acknowledge Pūanga, heralding the rising of the Matariki star cluster into the dawn.
Ngā Hihi o Matariki (World Premiere) is a significant new work of symphonic proportions by NZ pākehā composer Gareth Farr and Māori collaborators, Mere Boynton and Ariana Tikao.
Join the NZSO to celebrate this Māori new year with a sensational pulse-quickening experience, a celestial event of uniqueness and beauty.
