This Friday, 22 April, at 7pm NZST, Radio New Zealand Concert will broadcast the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra’s Kaleidoscope Colours concert from June last year.
This includes the premiere of Ko te tātai whetū, the piece for taonga pūoro and orchestra composed in collaboration with Ariana Tikao. The complete concert also includes music by Peter Sculthorpe, Lissa Meridan, and Béla Bartók.
Thanks to Darryl Stack, David Houston, and Andrew Collins for the beautiful recording.
I don’t think this is the first broadcast, but this time I’ve spotted it before it happens.
