Programme
Douglas Lilburn’s classic ‘Overture Aotearoa’ begins this programme of four evocative pieces. The urban landscape is represented by Sarah Ballard’s exploratory ‘street : noise : graffiti’. Christopher Blake’s ‘The Angel at Ahipara’ takes a Robin Morrison photograph of a Northland churchyard as its point of departure, while in ‘Cries of Auckland’ Eve de Castro Robinson throws us into the sounds of Auckland protest marches through the decades.
