Te Hiringa
Oro
The
Experience
of Sound
Welcome to 2026 Season
Te hiringa whakaaro
Te hiringa tangata
Ka rongo te pō
Ka rongo te ao
Te oro taketake ka whiti
Te hiringa oro ka mau
Mai i te orokohanga
Ki te ao mārama
Tīhei, mauri ora e!
The inspiration of thought
The vitality of human endeavour
To experience the fullness
of human expression
The origin of sound transcends
The vitality of life embraced
Emerging from the origins of sound
Into the world of light
Behold, there is life!
Experience
2026 Season
A cycle of vitality, reflection, and renewal – weaving past, present, and future into one continuous experience of sound.
The 2026 Season celebrates the legacy of musical artistry. Each artist draws on mentors, traditions, and movements, transforming them into their own voice. Their music resonates in the present and reverberates into the future, shaping audiences and inspiring generations.
Together, they embody Te Hiringa Oro – the vitality and inspiration of sound – where music is not only energy in motion but also legacy carried across time, from the first cries of creation to the voices of language, culture, instruments, and technology.
