Across Aotearoa

Join us for Across Aotearoa, a captivating afternoon that celebrates the rich and diverse soundscape of New Zealand.

Featuring some of the country’s finest brass and percussion musicians, this concert showcases the creativity and spirit of Aotearoa through music composed by both acclaimed New Zealand composers and talented writers from within the band.

The programme features a stunning variety of works - from the dramatic Finale from Swan Lake and the iconic Kiwi anthem “Welcome Home” by Dave Dobbyn, to a moving original composition written in memory of those who lost their lives in the Pike River Mine disaster.

From bold, contemporary works to evocative, lyrical pieces, each performance highlights the depth and artistry of our nation’s musical voices. Together, they weave stories of place, people, and pride - offering audiences a powerful journey through the unique character of Aotearoa’s music.

Whether you’re a long-time supporter of brass music or experiencing it live for the first time, this concert promises to uplift, inspire, and connect through sound.

Don’t miss this extraordinary celebration of New Zealand’s musical talent - performed with passion, precision, and heart.
