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.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
