Music of the Month: Pan Moana Group

A dynamic reflection of the bubbling wai (waters) underneath the streets of Tāmaki Makaurau, Pan Moana Group draws forth a swirling brew of taonga puoro, (traditional Māori musical instruments) kaleidoscopic modular synthesis, earth-shaking drums and future-poised instrumental combinations and approaches.

This iteration of Pan Moana Group consists of a breathtaking array of local musicians: Abigail Aroha Jensen, Leafa Krause, Eamon Edmundson-Wells, Sione Faletau, Salvador Brown, Parks, Rāhana Tito-Taylor and Navākatoa Tekela-Pule, offering a lively concoction of Tāmaki Makaurau / Pan-Moana sound to resonate with.

Playing to mark the final day of the remarkable 'Ever Present: First Peoples Art of Australia exhibition', Pan Moana Group say they are looking forward to speaking to their tuakana (elder siblings) from across the ditch, and the works they have brought to Tāmaki Makaurau for us to ponder.

Tickets are free, but in limited supply. Be sure to book your place without delay!
