A spectacular night of Tongan classical music featuring the best of ‘old’ and ‘new’ Tongan songs performed by Feohi‘anga Ālonga ‘ia Kalaisi kava and vocal-instrumental musical collective.
The evening‘s programme will feature an array of vocals and instrumentals extravaganza, exhibiting a selection of refined works of music or sung poetry, by renowned Tongan artists, such as Queen Sālote, Prince Tu‘ipelehake, Vili Pusiaki, Lavaka Kefu, ‘Unga Afuha‘amango and Peni Tutu‘ila.
This concert takes the beauty and utility of Tongan music in kava collectives to a whole new level - by moving from garages, community and church halls to the theatre space.
