Ngā Tuone by Riki Gooch

Experience boundary-breaking compositions created right before your eyes.

Drawing inspiration from American composer and conductor Butch Morris, Riki Gooch presents his new symphony Ngā Tuone.

Using an improvised music concept where conducting signs and gestures symbolise musical notations, the audience will be the first to witness this unique approach.

Incorporating themes of te ao Māori - the interconnectedness of all things living and nonliving, the structure of this symphony focuses on the Māori song form of Mōteatea (chants).

Performing an acoustic set with an 11-piece ensemble, this world premiere is an experience not to be missed.
