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!
