Mānawatia a Matariki
In 2023 we come together again to celebrate Matariki with an inspiring night of musical fusion.
Winner of the 2022 Silver Scroll, Troy Kingi (Te Arawa, Ngāpuhi, Te Whānau-ā-Apanui) is one of Aotearoa’s most dynamic, hardworking, and popular singer-songwriters. With a mission to release 10 albums in 10 years, he is a diverse musical genius – equally comfortable singing pop, funk, disco, rock, and everything in between.
Expect the unexpected as Kingi and the APO perform a wide-ranging setlist from Kingi’s eclectic catalogue. With lush orchestral arrangements by composer Mahuia Bridgman-Cooper this will be an amazing night of creativity and collaboration.
I te tau 2023, ka hui tahi anō ai tātou ki te whakanui i a Matariki ki tētahi kaupapa puoro kōmitimiti whakahirahira.
Ko Troy Kingi (Te Arawa, Ngāpuhi, Te Whānau-ā-Apanui), te kaiwhiwhi o te tohu Silver Scroll 2022, he taioro, he houhare anō hoki, ā, ko ia tētahi o ngā kaiwaiata-kaitito rongonui o Aotearoa. He mātanga puoro ia, me tana whāinga kia puta i a ia ngā kōpae waiata 10 i roto i te 10 tau. He ngāwari ki a ia te waiata i ngā tāera nei o te puoro arotini, te puoro funk, te puoro pekerangi, te puoro rakatū, arā noa atu.
He kaupapa motuhake te whakaatu nei a Kingi rātou ko te APO i te rārangi waiata mai i ngā titonga kanorau a Kingi. Ka taunakitia e ngā rangi rāngai puoro nā Mahuia Bridgman-Cooper, te kaiwhakarite rangi, ā, he pō nui whakaharahara tēnei o te auaha me te mahi tahi.
