AWE weave together the sounds of Aotearoa

Chamber Music New Zealand

Combining electronic sounds with taonga puoro (traditional Māori instruments) and other musical elements, AWE weave together the sounds of Aotearoa with the musical textures of their imagination.

Their music creates unique experiences for audiences of all ages, drawing on musical traditions both new and old, stories past and present, and bringing together different cultural practices and perspectives. The concert will feature material from their debut album as well as new improvisational pieces, where listeners are encouraged to move beyond convention into new sonic territory.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
