SOUNZ Virtual Concert

In Turanga-nui Gillian Whitehead considers the landfall of Cook in 1769, and of Māori centuries earlier, the feeling of finally standing on dry land after a long journey, and the danger of the inevitable collision of the two cultures. Ben Hoadley’s Turakirae was inspired by the rugged, open landscape of the Turakirae promontory, where the Rimutaka ranges begin. We finish the programme with Chris Adams’s Otira Gorge, an elemental depiction of the eponymous gorge in Arthur’s Pass, as pained by Petrus Van Der Velden.
