An Instrumental Journey
Representatives from the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra visited Whitney Street School this morning ahead of their September performances called 'Tuia - An Instrumental Journey' which has been put together for Tuia 250.
There was a combination of European and traditional Māori instruments.
One of New Zealand’s leading Taonga Pūoro specialists, Horomona Horo, explained to the children about the Māori instruments, and how NZ is now a multi-cultural society with music from around the world.
The performance will be an awesome experience to hear how Taonga Pūoro and the orchestra sound together!

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!
