Chamber Music New Zealand in Hawke's Bay / Gisborne
The 2025 season features some of the most beautiful music composed, which captures life's journey. In developing the narrative for the 2025 season, we have collaborated with Johnson McKay (Ngāti Rongomaiwahine, Ngāti Awa, Ngāti Mahuta, Ngāti Porou) who has written a karakia based on the Māori creation story to express the three stages of creativity. Te Kore, where all elements for creation are present, but yet to be awakened. Te Pō, in which life is nurtured and grows. Te Ao Mārama, in which the creation enters into the world of light, to be experienced. The karakia, featured throughout this brochure, explores all three stages of the musical creative process through the stages of Te Kore, Te Pō and Te Ao Mārama. It commences with the awakening of sound in the mind of the composer. It develops depth of emotion and thought, complexity of connections and ideas. Finally, the music enters into the world of light, to be experienced by both performer and audience. This is a cycle of creative energy - repeating, evolving and bringing new things to life in Te Ao Mārama.
