A special performance to celebrate Indigenous musical artists. In recognition of the UN Decade of Indigenous Languages and in the spirit of Indigenous connection and creativity, Kōtuitui brings together performers from three world cultures to demonstrate the traditional instruments that are played in their respective homelands.

Featuring artists from Haumanu Collective (Aotearoa), Pamyua (Alaska) and William Barton (Australia), Indigenous creative ingenuity comes to the fore as these artists teach about their musical heritage and combine their multiple talents to compose a bespoke piece of music to be enjoyed by all.
